Protect the Notebook from Viruses

When you use the notebook for email, network, or Internet access, you expose the notebook to computer viruses. Computer viruses can disable QuickPlay or your Windows operating system and applications or cause them to function abnormally.

Protect Your System Files

System Restore is a Windows operating system feature that enables you to undo harmful changes to your notebook software by restoring your software to an earlier time, called a restore point, when your software was functioning optimally.
Restore points are restorable, benchmark “snapshots” of your application, driver, and operating system files. The notebook sets restore points at regular intervals and might set additional restore points whenever you change your personal settings or add software or hardware.
Manually setting additional restore points provides additional protection for your system files and settings. It is recommended that you manually set restore points
Before you add or extensively modify software or hardware.
Periodically, whenever the system is performing optimally.
Restoring to any restore point does not affect your data files. For example, restoring your system software to an earlier time will not affect documents or emails that you saved after that time. All System Restore procedures are reversible.
Next Steps
Setting a Restore Point
To set a system restore point manually:
1. Select Start > Help and Support > System Restore.
