Removal of some malware requires turning off system restore - quan

A much better solution is to periodically make image type backups of the
system drive with something like Norton Ghost which comes with some versions
of Norton Systemworks and is well worth the price for Ghost alone unless you
can find a copy of Ghost even cheaper. I always make Ghost baseline image of
my system disk after a clean install before I ever connect to the internet.
I had two in a row hard disk failures and it saved my rear end bigtime. It
takes me about 5 minutes to restore a 6 gig Ghost image. I do not keep
media files on my system drive. --- Steve

Some malware removal procedures require the turning off of system restore.
Turning off system restore deletes restore points.
Some malware causes significant system damage and its removal causes more
damage.
How does one restore the system to a pre-malware damaged state without the
restore points?
