but is there a chance of the virus still being present in some undetectable area?

Yes.
Turn off system restore, then turn it back on, this will delete all restore points, and any chance of you getting it again, because it is actually being stored on your computer in the restore files.......

Possibly, but be sure to update your antiviruses again because the definitions get rolled back too.
The viruses are going to stay in the system restore folder (C:/System Volume Information) because of the "undo restore" option.
Go to my computer, click properties, go to system restore, flick it off, click apply, then flick it back on so infected points will be removed.

Yes. You should install a reliable anti-virus program for all-time monitor to avoid new virus to get in your computer. Try BullGuard antivirus, a full version of the software is available for a 2-month trial. Its really great. It was able to detect the virus,worms, adwares, malwares, spywares in my computer that neither norton nor mcafee was able to. The site is www.bullguard.com :)
