Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me.. I am running Windows XP and was wondering if the System restore box should be left "unticked" or "ticked"... Kind Regards.

If your system does not have a virus, it is best that system restore is checked (turned on). If you ever encounter a virus, disable system restore, get rid of the virus, and turn it back on.
