Mike......S^^U already its your opinion and if you had experienced
multiple point infection or the virus itself disabling system restore
you would understand........I know ALL about it and to rely on it
solely would mean you CLEARLY don't understand me.

You clearly still don't understand otherwise you wouldn't have
posted as
you have. Using system restore it is possible to restore to a clean
uninfected state by restoring to a checkpoint created before
infection.
By flushing the restore folder prior to any attempt to cleanse a
system
such an option is lost.

restoring to an infected state, for me, serves no purpose. I have
never had the displeasure of having a system screwed up because of
virus removal since I was on the 12 step 'Rid myself of norton"
therapy years ago. AFA spyware and such, it rarely infects my
machines
and has never been a big problem. when it does, hijackthis is the
ultimate in removal. (and should be used by some one who
understands
the difference between 'BACK up' and system restore. ;^)
