Hello,

Reading up about System Restore, should I make it priority when updating avg/ spyware guard / ad aware etc. weekly, turning System Restore “off” and after turning “on” again.

As usual your opinions I always appreciate,

i dont think its neccessary to turn system restor off and then on just for updating your software, AVG updates all most everyday so what would be the point of doing it weekly.

it is a good idea however to turn it off, restart, turn it on again and create a NEW restore point every now and then possibly, 2 weeks, maybe monthly.

but for the purpose of merly updating your software, i dont see how that would help.

I personally have disabled SR completely. I just don't need it. I have enough knowledge to fix problems without having to use SR. Besides, it also stores viruses...
