This will surely end in tears, we have seen these solutions over the years from all kinds of vendors hardware & software alike and it just never lives up to the promise. M$'s system restore I have used once since it with Windows 2000, every other issue I ever ran into I used either the recovery console (when it worked), a Live Puppy Linux CD or a good ol'Dos floppy (well now CD) to manually fix the doomed machine or get my data back.
Behold! M$ Jim, more chance of him Fixing it then anything else :

"Microsoft has launched "Fix It" software that keeps an eye on a PC and automatically repairs common faults.The software basically adds the automatic diagnostics system in Windows 7 to older versions of Microsoft's operating system.The software, currently available as a trial or beta version, is intended for users of Windows XP and Vista.The package also tries to anticipate how security updates will affect a PC before they are installed."
