This means what? If there is something self-defense capability strong enough, system restore does not interfere with it? And you should not be illusory or about system restore. System restore is not strong enough to support you in many cases, especially for severe cases or viral. The restore point for destroying virus is extremely simple, just change it in regedit option to turn off then on again or not, all the restore points is wiped out immediately.

Nobody is saying you can rely on System Restore.
On contrary. It's too weak to trust.
The best things in life are free.

I don´t get it. May be a language barrier.

1.) Is it not the OP asking for Avast to create a restore point when installing or uninstalling it ? However, Windows will create a restore point when installing or uninstalling any program. Does it not ? So would it not be an overkill to have a step in Avast to create a restore point during installation  ?

2.) Most websites which have a virus removal forum will advice to  " not erase Windows restore points until all malwares are removed from the system " just in case one needs to go back, and then afterwards, the removal of the restore points, is just a matter of housekeepping, nothing more.

3.) Most of us who have used Windows restore points know that they do not always work as expected. Don´t they. Of course something is always better than nothing.

So having Avast creating a restore point is a waste of time and space in the system.

Am I right with those points after reading all the answers ? or someone else has some thing else to add ?

Regards.



Regards.
