Get a good Antivirus programs such as AVG which is free, run a scan and then again in soft mode...Always keep Antivirus programs updated--you also need Antispyware programs such as SpyBot Search and Destroy, Lavasoft Adaware SE, Spyware Blaster, Microsoft Windows Defender. These are all freeware as well, you can Google to their sites and have em in in no time. You need to keep these updated also as new threats are constantly coming out.

Trojans and spyware are not necessarily virus, but you could have all of them on your computer. Get SpyBot and Ad-Aware free from download.com. Install and run them. Then get Avast or AVG free antivirus, one or the other, but not both, and run the one you choose. If there is a virus, the antivirus will find it. Then you can delete it. Use these links to find them.

System restore won't clear it.
What makes you think you have a problem? If you installed security software and scanned the pc, why won't it remove it?
On the other hand do you have an unexpected pop up telling you that you have this problem on your pc? In that case, the pop up is the spyware and you need to get rid of it!
You may need to switch off System Restore as back up files will be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.
Then beef up your security. Its easier to prevent malware getting on to your sytem in the first place rather than trying to remove it. All the following programs are free for personal use;
You need to install one firewall.
The Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out.
http://www.zonelabs.com Zone Alarm firewall OR
http://www.comodogroup.com/ - Comodo firewall.
You need to install one anti virus;
http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/ -AVG anti virus or
http://www.avast.com - Avast Antivirus
You need all three anti spyware programs;
http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.
http://www.lavasoft.com - Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.
Also use Microsoft Defender and their online scans.
And these are useful utilities;
http://www.mozilla.com/ - Firefox web browser.
http://www.ccleaner.com Cr*pcleaner Registry cleaner and privacy tool
Winpatrol is a handy utility that tracks cookies on your pc and stops unwanted changes to your startup folder.
http://www.winpatrol.com
Spywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to your browser.
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com
http://www.siteadvisor.com -MacAffee Site Advisor warns about malware on sites you are about to visit.
http://spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm - The Spyware Warrior site identifies fake anti spyware programs.
https://www.grc.com - Shields Up security site, check your firewall works.
Remember to update and run all of you anti malware programs at least once a week.
