HOW TO CREATE RESTORE POINT USING WINDOIWS DEFENDER

We are in the information age rapidly and currently are almost impossible to imagine how the world would be without the Internet. This is due, in part, to the popularization of personal computers, which caused the network to become a leading source to find news and carry out communication.

So it is difficult to find someone who does not use it often enough, especially as a means of quick information. The problem is that each day brings new cyber threats such as data theft, viruses, malware, and other risks. Therefore, the ideal is that you always have your computer protected.

One of the programs that can be used for this task is the solution Microsoft’s own Windows Defender. But a bad aspect of using it is that the application, as a default, does not create a restore point before removing suspicious files, which can cause problems for the computer in the case of an application error.

Then, click the alternative “Advanced”. Now all you need to do is check the “Create a system restore point”.

In Windows 7

Then, the results appear, simply click in the entry application.

After it is done, go to the menu “Tools” and click on the alternative “options”.
