State of Computer and System Restore



Sorry, I lost that one without a subject
The automatic update for my virus scanner has run amok (two instances of the
download) so that the update will not install, and I am prevented from
shutting down my machine (almost 24 hours now) because the install is not
complete.

Question: Can I be successful, with my computer in this state, to choose a
good restore point and go back a few days before this started?
