This video tutorials shows how you can create a system restore point in Windows 7. If you get a virus on your computer, you can use System Restore to go back in time to an earlier date when the virus was not on your system. Microsoft claims that none of your personal files are damaged during the process, but I would back them up to DVDs or an External Hard drive before actually restoring.
