This could involve another article, but I will write the steps that you can make in order to disable this utility on Windows 7 in this article as well, since it is related to this issue.
Click Start, My Computer and then go to Properties. System Protection is the next step. You can reach to this option if you go on the left side of the Properties window. Select the hard drive portion that you want to configure and then click Configure. Turn off system protection and then click Apply. You can select as I can understand only one drive at a time. Thus, you must repeat the operations above for each drive separately. Then shut down the computer. Restart the computer and see how you can restore the files that were before the disabling operation. Click “Restore system settings and previous versions of files”. In this way, you can be sure that the dropper was eliminated and also that your files could not be restored like before.

This will not guarantee you that in the case of a computer crash, you will have the files back again, because you won’t, but at least, this could make you back-up the files in your computer on a regular basis, activity that should be made at least once a month.
