    Thats what i do also, a complete system restore.

    Be sure to run every Anti-anthing program to delete the spyware.

    Unfortunatly system restore does not delete installed program files, it does not delete anything to make sure no important data is deleted. It may unregister some .dll and registry files, but you'll have to go over your computer manually to make sure its clean.

    USE : http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/pest/ to search for your pest (use norton or your AV to find out what pest attacked you)
    and if you do have norton installed click the link provided so you can an indepth explenation of your spyware and how to remove it.

    I wish you all the best.
    To Good Computer Health.
    Cheers.
