I am sorry, but I have used Avast Free for many years and in that time restore points has not worked most of the time and I never knew why. However lately I found out that it is Avast that is preventing Windows restore from working.
So now I use AVG free just so I can have Windows Restore work as it is supposed to. I really want to use Avast but restore is more important.
I am pleading. "Please allow Windows Restore Points to restore the operating system to a previous point" Why is that so hard to do.
System Restore works just fine with AVG free, Avira free , and Panda free. All top rates AV's. I am done with Avast until it is fixed
