Re: System Volume Information viruses

Hi again, harry754 -

I also had read to leave the hidden system volume area alone as it could have dratic problems if you just jumped in and started deleting stuff.
Good call.

Here's some useful info about System Restore

Deleting individual points breaks the chain. I'm still not sure why some protection apps delete individual points. I suppose there may be arguments on both sides of the issue, but I go with the more cautious, and leave individual points alone.

Please do have a look around the rest of the forums. We have an excellent Hardware Support section, with a Building subforum. If you can offer any help to members, feel free to chime in.

Cheers!
