[QUOTE="Chuck57, post: 932526, member: 75774"] Start with Macrium Reflect and a clean OS, and all your programs freshly installed and ready. Do a backup to an external drive. Then have fun trying various antiviruses or whatever else you want. When things start getting bad, restore the image. I've been doing it for quite awhile, through 4 restores. You're only talking 12 or 15 minutes with Macrium to make the image one time, and another 15 minutes or less to put things back the way they were. If you have SDD drive probably less than 5 minutes to image and another 5 or less to restore. [/QUOTE]
