Is it really a computer problem?

System Restore is a component of Microsoft's Windows Me, Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems that allows for the rolling back of system files, registry keys, installed programs, etc., to a previous state in the event of malfunctioning or failure. -Wikipedia
It must be really nerdy to relate life to the need for a system restore. My favorite sibling used it a few times for his laptop to counter the effects of various trojans and viruses. I can't turn my back, no matter how malfunctioned or failing things get. It's natural to check back, look thoroughly to find a solution, and overcome harmful effects on Windows XP.
