System restore is one of best features added to the Windows operating systems. This feature allows the computer to go to a previous “Restore Point” to undo any changes to a computer that cannot be done by a simple delete. System Restore is used when a computer has problems from any changes, such as newly-installed software or drivers. System restore is also the first defense against a malware attack.
