I don't recommend a 3rd party AV Software to run as full time in your computer. However, Super antispyware is good. In reply to Sumit Independent Advisor 's post on February 1, Sometimes it helps to uninstall your antivirus and reinstall the correct version for the Windows 10 operating system. Expert Tip: Some PC issues are hard to tackle, especially when it comes to corrupted repositories or missing Windows files.

If you are having troubles fixing an error, your system may be partially broken. We recommend installing Restoro, a tool that will scan your machine and identify what the fault is. Click here to download and start repairing. After you uninstall the antivirus, you should download the newest version compatible with Windows 10 from the official website. The newest versions are more comprehensive regarding cybersecurity protection, have multiple features, and work better with your computer.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling it, and see if it fixes the antivirus blocking System Restore problem, or try the next solution. However, uninstalling an antivirus is not always flowless. These tools can leave behind files called leftovers that can interfere with other software. Fortunately, you can use an uninstaller tool that will help you to completely remove your antivirus without leaving any residual files behind. If you manage to boot in Safe Mode, perform a clean boot to eliminate any so f tware conflicts that may be causing the System Restore problem in Windows Performing a clean boot for your computer reduces conflicts related to software that can bring up the root causes of the problem.

These conflicts can be caused by applications and services that start up and run in the background whenever you start Windows normally. You will have a clean boot environment after all these steps are carefully followed, after which you can try and check if you can perform a System Restore. Does this help fix the antivirus blocking System Restore problem?

If not, perform an SFC scan as described in the next solution. A System File Checker scan checks or scans all protected system files, and then replaces the incorrect versions, with the genuine, correct Microsoft versions.

If you still get the antivirus blocking System Restore problem, try performing an automatic repair in Windows Recovery Environment WinRE as described in the next solution. Using Windows 10 installation media, you can use Automatic Repair to detect and fix any problems that block System Restore. However, if you do not have installation media, you can download and create Windows 10 installation media, then follow the steps above to perform the Automatic Repair.

Running a virus scan means any infected files may be cleaned by deleting the file completely. It only scans when manually triggered, then you get to use it 10 days after you download it. This means you need to download the latest version of the tool before you perform each scan on your computer. Did any of these solutions resolve the antivirus blocking System Restore problem?

Let us know in the comments section below. You can start by pressing the Windows key and type System Restore. Quoting the relevant parts:. When System Restore first appeared in the market, computer manufacturers and other companies claimed In reality, System Restore can create copies of the infected files. And some viruses may be capable of infecting the restore volume as well as the actual system files. When a person cleans their computer using an anti-virus, then uses System Restore, they may inadvertently re-infect the computer.

Or if they use System Restore as a means of removal, either the restore will fail if the anti-virus cleans the virus out during the restore process or the restore will replace the file with an infected version.

In fact, to make sure that no virus is still residing on your computer you should first delete all system restore points and do a manual cleaning of the virus or let your antivirus software handle it if it can. Once you're infected you never know if you are still infected. Virus scanners are always updating their list of threats they can detect, but virus authors are updating their threats just as fast.

There are always threats out there that are not yet able to be detected. Good virus authors will infect every piece of the system needed to stay alive. You can never be sure how thorough the virus author is. The best will include cutting edge rootkits, which, in a real-world case, could include infecting your BIOS although I've never seen that in theory, not in the real world.

I had the "services. Then I remembered the system restore point. Tried it, and It worked! Now I'll go back and try to remove any restore points that were created when the malware was active.

So yes, if you're going to re-install anyway, try this. What harm can it do? It might just save your day. That depends on the virus. If it resides in the registry or in a driver of somesort then I think it may be able to or if it was installed using a rogue windows update. Most likely it will not remove the virus because most viruses replicate themselves and make it difficult to remove. Theoretically, it can -at best- stop the virus from working.

That'd be if it only infected some files that start up now and didn't start up in the past, and if it has left the system restore points intact. But viruses aren't ever that useless to not infect any system files! So no, it won't. Since in practice, it won't even prevent the virus from working, since the virus will infect a bunch of files, some system files.. If it's a virus, then the best thing is to "disable system restore", this wipes system restore folder clean so if there was a virus stored there it is gone.

Then run the virus scan.
