System Restore Points not available

When I access the system properties box, then click on the system protection

tab, it starts to search for available disks. It continues to search

indefinitely. I'm unable to access any of the features on this tab: system

restore or create. I've heard this has to do with the new updates. Is this

true, and is something being done to fix it?

I don't see that on my system. How many drives do you have and what kind? Is

there anything else special about your computer?

What firewall, anti-virus application or security suite is installed? There

are some that cause problems which do not appear immediately.

Hi Bob, I have windows firewall and McAfee that was downloaded from Comcast.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 and it came with Trend Micro PC-cillin which has

expired. Thanks for your response. Any ideas will help.

Trend Micro and McAfee are known to cause problems. Sometimes they don’t

show up immediately.

Replace McAfee with the free AVG http://free.grisoft.com/ or Avast

http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html, and Windows Firewall and Windows

Defender. Disabling McAfee is not enough. You need to completely uninstall

it.

McAfee Consumer Product Removal Tool

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninsta...oval-Tool.shtml

Trend Micro does not have an uninstaller. Uninstall it from "Programs and

Features"

Can not uninstall Trend Micro from Programs and Features. Right click does

nothing. Thinking it may have already been uninstalled, but sure would like

to get rid of it in programs and features if possible.
