Windows 7 System Restore: How does ESET behave?

[XenonS 1]

Hi,

 

When trying to do a System Restore in Windows 7, after having manually created a restore point, the restore doesn't work saying that nothing has been restored because of an error:

 

Unknown error ... (0x8007 1a90).

 

I wonder if ESET has to be deactivated prior of a system restore, if it has to be done in protected mode, or if the cause has nothing to do with a security suite.

 

Thanks to feedback!

I, for one, don't remember any complaints about ESET preventing system restore to complete. You can check if turning off HIPS and real-time protection makes a difference. According to some users, performing system restore in safe mode always resolved the mentioned error.

Hi Marcos,

thanks to respond.

My problem is solved: I have learned that for some reasons Restore Points in Win7 may only work if you run them in protected mode (which was successful in my case), others will work in normal running mode.

 

Thanks,
