Does this version of Defender affect the System Restore on XP. Before
updating from Anti-spyware to this I could easily restore my settings to the
previous day.
Now I cannot restore to any of the previous 30 days.
 
Hi sixtiesblue,

WD does affect the frequency of system restore points in XP but not in the
way you suggest - if anything some people complain it creates too many. Have
you checked that System Restore has not been inadvertently or otherwise
turned off? You can do this by right clicking My Computer on your desktop
then Properties>System Restore tab. Make sure the `Turn off System Restore`
box is not check marked.

Thanks Stu for your advice. Turn off System Restore box had not been check
marked. I manually created a restore point when I corrected all errors, so
hopefully that one will work if required.
Surely Microsoft would not write a program that affects System Restore,
although it is a Beta version.
