Your best bet is to reformat.
THe trojan or virus you might have is probably encrypted and has a unique stub which can make it undectectable for a while.
It's up to you

u dont have to restore.. malwarebyte's anti-malware will find the problems and fix them
it's free too
do an update after installing

i had a really fucked up brand new spyware recently. spybot, adaware, nod32 didn't fix it.. malwarebyte found everything and fixed it and restored all the modded files that the spyware did
ps. system restore sucks.. u should have it disabled.. besides, a lot of spyware gets stored in the system restore
it's free too

if you just restore files from a previous date, the virus might jsut come back, you have to completely restore the default factory files and settings

I would suggest backing up all the files you need on an external drive or different partition and formatting the partition that your os is running on. Then scan those files you transfered to make sure it didn't copy itself. Best way because its probably always gonna be in your system somewhere.
j/w what browser were you using?

problems like that convinced me to switch to linux two years ago. i've been to several web pages that tried to install software on my machine.
fyi, you can have both linux and win on your hdd at the same time. you just choose which one you want to use at bootup. if you don't choose, then win is booted by default.

Try the easy way first assuming it is something an anti-virus program will find. I'm not a techy but I had this problem a few months back and even I could pretty much guess at which files were the renegades. All the various virus scanners found them too but there were always a couple of files that were being used by windows that they couldn't blow away except...
...Avast.
I don't have a link for it but if you do a search it's free. What Avast will do is remember which files those are that windows is using and then blow them away on a reboot before Windows loads.
It's worth a try.

i used grub to dual boot. but
after a few months i dropped
win95 and went linux 100%.
if you want, you can even put
linux on an external hdd and
dual boot from either internal
or external hdd.
