Restore points are broken if they are created when a removable drive was
being monitored and it is subsequently removed.

They are a monopoly. They totally dominate the market for computer

I was not suggesting they should stop third party security software
being installed. They ought to be able to prevent that software from
preventing System Restore from restoring the Registry to an earlier
version of the Registry.
