How safe is System Restore?
I installed a new antivirus product, but I don't like it, and I want to install a different one. Just before installing it, I made a System Restore backup. Although the system has been used a fair amount, nothing else has been installed since installing that antivirus.
The uninstallers that come with antivirus tools usually leave a lot behind. At the same time, I've always avoided System Restore since it seems like you could easily wind up with orphaned bits and pieces.
I like to keep Windows 7 clean and tidy.
What is the best choice:
1. Run the uninstaller that came with the antivirus, and then perform the manual uninstall procedures from their website.
or
2. Perform a System Restore
or
3. Perform step #1 and then step #2.
