Happy 6th anniversary to this thread. Six years ago today the question was asked:

To those that suggested imaging software. After doing a little research it seems to be a backup similar to system restore. Why is regular system restore not good enough? Thanks

 

Imaging a system, you are backing up/restoring a copy of your hard disk/partition previously stored else where (external hard drive for example). With System Restore, you are restoring a copy of the registry only, your documents and personal data are not affected.

System Restore is not always reliable, it can break down silently and leave you unprotected when you most need it. Imaging software when it works is really the ultimate recovery even if your hard drive would suddenly die.

 

Thanks, I will download an imaging software

There might have been a conflict somewhere between 3 new programs Online Armor, EAM and Ad Muncher, there were problems in browsing. Removed Ad Muncher and added back Ad Block Plus to Chrome. Turned off the Guards in EAM and will add them back one at a time. Online Armor is doing really well, I think it's been improved since I tried it last about half a year ago.

 

Yes, I remember it well...
