Its not really a good idea to do a system restore when you know you have a virus, the virus can embed files in the restore volume, so once your computer is restored the virus just starts back up again.

Ah right, seemed to get rid of my "system tool" virus but it might not have done, I'm not really sure :/

I think it depends what kind of virus it is, but that one Jords has will need to be removed asap because it will start to disable his programs, task manager etc.

Start > All programs > accessories > system tools > system restore

It can restore your computer to a date before you had the virus. The virus might block you from doing it so you might have to go into safe mode by pressing f8 when the computer starts up

That's for Windows though, not sure about Vista. I dont know if this completely works, I did it and it seemed to remove the virus but I'm not very good at things like this really
