Sick and tired of viruses,bugs and worms!

Sure can, System Restore is a point you can set to a good known point of when your system was running optimal for you.

I could sit here and type everything per help and support about "System Restore" but you already have the information on your system. The easiest and best solution to your answer is.

Click on Start, scroll down to Help and Support.

Click that and it should open a screen with "Windows Help and Support".

Type in " system restore"

Get ready to do some reading

You should get back, give or take about 30-40 results of links. Help and Support requires no internet connections.

The first few results will probably be your best results. Like, "frequently asked questions" will be one of the results. Another should be, Turn System Restore on or off, will be another. These are examples of your results from the help and support input.

Reading this provided material you have already paid for(it's already installed with the operating system), will give you the answers about System Restore. It will give you instructional details on setting this up and deleting if you so chose. It will guide you to set up a known good restore point of your operating system. Help and Support also provides information, to just about everything about your operating system except the written code.

I will express one bad point to it, Let's say you setup a known restore point last week(pick any day you want). You did a operating system update or any changes in the way you want the operating system to work since the restore point. You will lose those system settings if you decide to go back to that "known good restore point". Now if you create a document since you created that "known good point", I have seen it not delete those documents but I do not guarantee it. This is not really a bad point of system restore because it is intended to take you to a know good point of your operating system. Whether you save your data on a backup is upon you.

Which brings me to the next subject, backing up data, pictures or anything you feel is of value. It does not necessary have to be of value but who wants to lose pictures or documents you spent time creating. Depending on the amount of data or pictures you are saving. The only thing that I have found that works best for me is saving it on a disc(CD) by dates and filename. No moving parts on a CD or DVD disc. You do not have to worry about the CD failing unless you let the kids play with it in the yard as a frisbee.(LoL) DVD's save the most data or you could buy a thumb drive. I still suggest saving on disc(just my opinion here).

I could get into explaining about the task manager but that's another whole subject in it's self for another time and alot of material to cover. Not saying you should not get to know how your system work but first, let's get it locked down. I'm glad to hear that you secured the wireless router with WPA settings.

It's late and I'm off to bed. Post more questions at will.
