Registry Restore

Registry contains information and settings for all the hardware, software, users, and preferences of the operating 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 in a manner beneficial to malware creating problems to the device.
