It "seems" like a good thing, but there are three major reasons why it isn't:
A) It does so without you being aware.
B) It illegally installs software that you do not have a license for.
C) Most modern viruses and trojans are so complex that the only way to remove them is by disabling system restore and running thorough scans in safe mode and/or boot time scans.
So not only do you have no control over it and become an "unexpected software pirate", but you likely don't even get rid of the other trojans/viruses on your computer.
