I guess I'm not really sure what System Restore does - it's on my list of things to disable every time I install Windows :) Maybe I am thinking of System File Protection instead.

Maybe I am forgetting what it really does, since I haven't used Windows at home in ages. When I do a restore, it moves files around that I added (renames folder names, etc).

What if a nasty virus altered or infected this info, though? Virus scanners are overrated, just don't use the Internet, ever. ;) Totally OT, but Windows does keep track of all changes made since checkpoint days, if System Restore is activated.

Should be done tomorrow. <br /> The hard part of course is knowing which things changed since the last scan, and keeping a log of all those changes, which could get very big. I’ll get on that.

Any chance you might invent a virus scanner that only scans changes made since the last scan instead of the whole hard drive? Just whenever you have a spare hour or two So I am sitting here, running Norton to scan my hard drive, and I got to thinking… Any chance you might invent a virus scanner that only scans changes made since the last scan instead of the whole hard drive?

Of course, since I selected "cheap" postage, his was dispatched days before my order was even processed, but they both arrived sometime before Christmas. 480p is noticeably sharper, but I prefer the graphics on my PS3. ;) What's the picture quality like with those paperclips doing the work?
