    If you're going to be connected to the Internet while updating Windows, I prefer having an active anti-virus suite protecting my computer. Others may disagree.

    Thanks you two for your input :)
    I figured the antimalware should be first
    Doesn't matter now the restore failed and now I have nothing but a cycle of bsod and windows error
    (windows failed to start)
    Time to start another thread
