of course I don't have the exact experience, but here's the standard virus removal procedure:

- let antivirus do it
- if that didn't work, get some other antivirus to do it
- if that didn't work, boot into safe mode and remove it yourself
- if that didn't work, boot into antivirus CD and remove it from there
- if that didn't work, try your luck
- if that didn't work, reformat

system restore = (N); don't use it

Put this in between try your luck and reformat: Deal with it
If you can't, reformat

Why deal with a virus when it's so easy to reformat?
