I have found a worm virus on my system and am using a tool to remove it but it says that I must disable System Restore before I run it. Well, I can't remember how to disable it or rather where to find it to disable it. I am finding System Restore on my start menu but it doesn't give an option to disable.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff
