Disabling System Restore prevents the malware from leveraging restore points from being used to restore the system to a potentially infected state. This ensures that when the system is cleaned, no remnants of the malware are left to reintroduce itself.
The other options do not directly prevent the restoration of malware remnants and may lead to potential reinfection issues.
