Re: is this true

Hi,

No, it wouldn't fix itself. What it will do is create restore points, index
new files, and defrag. Plus, if your programs are set correctly, they will
scan for and remove any malware.

Would a hacker get in? It wouldn't be any different than when you are
actively using the machine. If you are firewalled and using other proper
security measures, then the risk of getting cracked is rather minimal.
