As a technical support, one of the most important security that I always look for is to disable is the windows system restore. Why if you may ask? First, it protects also my system to stop malware and viruses from being restored. In my experience, every time my anti-virus detects a virus, it detects then removed but it’s always there coming back and that’s because of system restore, it brings back the problem.
