Wrong as well, one should not ever try to turn off System Restore whilst doing a scan, it acts as a safety wall tho it might be infected.
Anyhow, you can just purge it and create a new restore point when you're clean.

haha, this time you are wrong
it is really better if we scan the whole system in safe mode after disable the system restore
becoz it is afraid that the virus hide inside the system restore
once the system restore been disable and after we scan it, then only your pc is "clean" from virus

and it can avoid the virus been restore back to your pc

thats what Norton Anti Virus website teach us wink.gif

Turning off system restore is good for virus scanning. who knows a virus is restored?
but if u turn off and a windows file is deleted, your whole OS bye bye liao.
but most antivirus company recommend u scan pc with system restore off.
