It will remove all that were installed after the date. It takes your computer back to that date. However, it will leave all files you currently have intact.

nothing as such, it will change only the modifications as i knw
my most wanted game wasnt un-installed

[blitzkrieg]

The main thing it changes are windows files.. so some program can stop working as they changed those files when you installed them (only a few programs do that btw).

In most cases, you won't notice anything disapearing or leaving from your computer. You should still backup your important data in case something goes wrong but only a system restore shouldn't uninstall your programs.

hmmm - did for me. I installed some rubbish that I couldnt uninstall and I used system restore to remove it for me.

System Restore will bring back a modified registry to it's previously saved state and do the same for modified Windows files. You won't lose the installed software files, but maybe the registry keys.

As dragon said. It restores the computer to a previous state (programs, system files, registry, device drivers, et al), however those files still remain in your hidden restore files on your hard drive in case you want to go back to another date. Does that make sense?

It brought back the trojan that I have gotten rid of.
