That's a smart point.
Thing is, many of those issues (malware, etc) purposely stay hidden for varied periods. Meaning: stay dormant. So the Check Point may save them while they are dormant, Restore may restore them, as you have discovered.
My father in-law used to be so bad at saying yes that I set his user ID to have little or no privileges and I was the only admin. He'd still be able to catch all sorts of things (wasn't supposed to) on Windows XP. The solution was he started from scratch every three months, user ID and all. A poor solution for most.
Personally I'll say no to everything (cat and being curious comes to mind). Even saying yes to sites like Trend Micro can end badly down the road. Did it twice, and paid for it bty.
Thing is in the past I've caught stuff and spent many hours fixing some of them (or starting from scratch) but its like crashing a good car, most are never exactly the same after an event and it usually hurts in more ways than one.
