Administrator DKT27 Posted September 25, 2009 Administrator Share Posted September 25, 2009 Well I have disabled system restore from the time conficker came into movement and I the time when I got some other nasty virus on my PC. The other reason was that everytime I deleted somethin (even with shift + delete) it had been goin directly into "system volume information" the folder which keeps all the things of system restore. And was takin a lot of space. So I figured it out that whatever help it does, the system restore, there is no use for me to keep it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shought Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 This isn't anything new? I've seen a few trojans/viruses hide in System Restore before, that's why you don't use System Restore to get rid off a virus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Well your ALL right on this one.. malware has been hiding in every place, and disguising themselves for YEARS..not to mention changing files forever..I seem to get lucky when it comes to things like this.. I always was a big time optimizer and system tweaker.. So when I was looking to free up space on my hard drive, and to make my system run more efficiently.. again.. these are some of the first things to go.. and not be utilized..Unless by a third party program, encrypted and on removable media not really reachable by anything else..
