System Image Restore after uninstalling VoodooShield?

[shmu26]

This is where I'm coming from:
I recently reinstalled Windows, and I want to do things right this time, and not have all sorts of remnants from old security apps. I want a clean machine.
I am running Windows 10 with Windows Defender. I installed Voodooshield, and then I uninstalled it, in favor of NoVirusThanks EXE Radar Pro. (Okay, you may not agree with my decision, but...)

If it was your machine, would you do a system image restore, to a point before the VS installation, or maybe that's just a waste of time and energy?

waste of time and energy, VS latest version cleans up after itself if you select the "delete all files" during uninstall.

I didn't select that -- I thought it will just delete the program data folder, which is no big deal.

There is no waste of time doing a clean install/restore, because other garbage surely got in since.

Always do a system image from clean Windows, without any security soft installed (apart from WD if Windows 10 is the case). You will never know what left on the system or what incompatibility you may encounter later. So, install Windows, update it, clean it from junk, defrag if necessary and backup it.

I made a system restore before installing it. Ultimately uninstalled it because it wasn't compatible with a multi user setup.

When switching between user accounts, it would not run for the other user in my setup. :/

Thanks to all for your comments.
I ran the system image restore, it's no big deal.
