bandit12345 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 My Windows XP Pro SP3 recently faced a sever virus attack. The virus and script that ran did considerable damage despite having Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes installed. After the attack, a fake Security Centre appeared and completely bypassed and disabled both MSE and Malwarebytes. In addition, it also deleted all the System Restore Points. That is the reason I am writing. Since anti-virus can't protect 100% of all systems all the time, can a software be developed to save and export Windows System Restore Points to a USB drive or to DVD? That way when System Restore points have been compromised, the saved copies can later be imported back into the Windows environment so the system can once again be restored. That's my idea.

Alan_B Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I use Macrium to backup my entire system This guarantees total restoration by a Boot CD from any software disaster, regardless of whether it is deliberate malware or yet another Microsoft Patch Tuesday or Early Monday disaster. To simply preserve a backup of the Restore Points you might consider something like BestSync at http://www.risefly.com/foldersynceng.htm I believe this uses Volume Shadow Copy Service to copy the system files etc which are not normally accessible.
