Exactly right. System restore tends to "back up" some virus-infected files, and it was pissing me off so much I disabled it completely and installed Norton Utilies, which comes with the Go-Back feature. Go-Back sets restore points for you, and the last time I got hit with some sort of scumware I simply activated Go-Back, set it to take my system back a day, clicked "OK" and bam...... my computer was back to the way it was before the scumware shit infected it.
I tried several anti-spyware programs, a few came highly recommended. None would rid my computer of what had infected it. Go-Back saved my bacon, I'm sure it will do the same for you. The only problem is, if you don't already have it on your computer are working, it's not much good to you to solve your present situation.
