I remeber there was a registry hack for System Restore in Vista. I can't for the life of me remeber which registry key needed to be changed. Windows 7 on my computer doesn't make a restore point every time you install software. After NIS 2011 found a threat on Saturday, I cleaned all Restore Poiints. Today I installed a addon in Firefox called KeyScramble Personal which also installed in IE 8. This addon protects against anything you type and scrambles it, so keyloggers get jibberish. Anyway I checked with Ccleaner > Tools > System Restore and there's only one restore point listed that I manually mad last night.

You CAN schedule it to run everyday, but I don't think you can change the location, so your OS drive will fill up and give you an error about "out of memory"
If you really think something bad is going to happen, just backup your data regularly on a separate drive.
