System restore?

does a system restore point, remove any updates from my security and anti virus software back to that restore point?



I certainly don't want to lose those updates.

What the system restore does on your pc is that it brings your pc back to the way it was from the point that you dictate.



So if there was a Windows Update on your pc installed yesterday, and your restoring it to two days ago the update will be deleted.



But it can be gotten back if you go to the windows update site.

If you do lose updates, just run the updater again. Most antivirus programs get new updates each week anyway.



Turn system restore off. It causes more problems than it solves. It hogs up hard drive space, slows down your computer as it duplicates nearly everything, then can freeze the whole computer when it doesn't get what it wants. As a better alternative, backup your important files regularly. Norton Ghost is a good program to make an image of your whole drive if you are worried about finding all your updates, etc.
The restore point will sometimes not remove your updates, if it does, manually enter to your updates to make sure your protected.
Yes it does.
no its shouldn't remove those updates. your safe. if your nervous about it, have your software check for updates.
i believe that it does remove updates from the windows XP, but, NOT from antiviruses
it might but ive found that after restores some newer files are still there.
Unfortunetly it does.
it depends on when u installed the updates,



like if u installed the updates on 02/02/2007 and the system restore will bring back the settings of the date 03/02/2007



then u will not lose any updates, which u installed before that date
