Tips & Warnings

• if you want it back on, follow the steps again, but clicking it back on, instead of off.
• having your system restore off, will save space on your hard drive, but also put you at risk for problems, if you decide to roll back later in the future.
• system restore is usually only turned off to remove viruses/worms/trojans/etc, so make sure, if you're doing that, turn it back on after you have removed them, so you won't have problems with your computer later on. (restore usually doesn't take up that much space on your hard drive, so it's worth keeping it on)
