> Seriously? You object to the system using System Restore to restore your system? Or you're just being a bloody idiot? Which is it?

Oops, nice False Dilemma. You fail to realise there's a third option, so let me explain it:

System Restore is there for ME to restore MY system to a configuration that worked after something has gone wrong.

It is NOT there for SOMEONE ELSE to run a piece of software, browse through my previous settings and change them WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!

Does that make it clear now?
