Registry Restore
The 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 a Control Panel
settings, or File Associations, System Policies, or installed new software, the changes are reflected and stored in the Registry.
Malwares usually target the system Registry to restrict specific features of the Operating Systems or other applications. They may
modify the system registry so that it behaves in a manner beneficial to malwares, and most of the times it creates problem for the
system.
