Registry is a database used to store settings and options of Microsoft Windows operating systems. It contains information and settings for all the hardware, software, users, and preferences of the system.
Whenever a user makes changes to the Control Panel settings, or File Associations, System Policies, or install new software, the changes are reflected and stored in the Registry. Malware usually targets the system Registry to restrict specific features of the operating systems or other applications. It may modify the system registry so that it behaves in a manner beneficial to malware creating problem to the system.
The Quick Heal Registry Restore feature restores the critical system registry area and other areas from the changes made by malware. It also repairs the system registry.
