"Check for problems" deletes all restore-points!

I have noticed this twice now:

After running "check for problems" and deleting the results found I have no XP-restore-points left.

Any clue?

Thanks

Found the clue myself just then............

In expert-settings there was "USE SHREDDER WHEN PURGING RECOVERY-FILES" enabled!

I swear I did not change anything there before!

Sorry for pinchin`your time!

Regards

I've always had that enabled and have never lost my XP system restore points.
I don't have Spybot creating restore points, however, so maybe that is the difference.

Thank you for replying Rosenfeld.
That makes it all more confusing..........:blush:

I will keep an eye on that! :bigthumb:

When you go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Settings, under "Expert settings" the following items are check/unchecked by default as follows:

■ Use shredder to remove usage tracks.
■ Use shredder when purging recovery files.
□ Show expert buttons in results list.
□ Show expert buttons in recovery list.

To the best of my knowledge the "Use shredder when purging recovery files" only refers to the purging of the recovery files created by Spybot. The purging of these files is done by going into Spybot > Recovery > and select the item(s) that you no longer want to keep and using the "Purge selected items" option on the top of the screen.

I do have "Create system restore point when fixing spyware/usage tracks (Win XP only)" checked and have not had any problems with System Restore Points being purged. However, I must also note that I rarely find and fix things.

Thank you!
