You're an idiot. Go find out what we're talking about before trying to sound smart, SoulEater.

I wasn't being serious. Therefore, I wasn't trying to sound smart.
Edit: Good luck, Brian.

Thanks Spazz, I hope this'll work. I got the virus on the tenth so I'll reset it to the ninth...

and if you successfully do the restore, scan the whole computer with a reliable anti virus program to be safe

if it fails horribly, you can either give it to the geek squad, cox, or get a better anti-virus program

Yeah, of course you weren't.

Well, Brian, just be sure that if you installed any software between now and the day you're restoring to, you'll need to reinstall it. That's the only things System Restore doesn't keep (aside from the malware, spyware, and viruses).

Also, if your computer's so ****ed up beyond imagine, it might not work. Unless you restore it to date really far into the past, I guess. Sometimes you can't, though.

The earliest restore point is the day AFTER I got the virus.

Make sure, when you use system restore, that you restore to a date before you had the virus.

EDIT:
Try going back a few weeks/months.
Your computer should have several restore points.

I say a trip to Geek Squad is in session. That or nuke your hard drive.

The constant pop-up notification of my protection status from virus scanners and blockers is somewhat worse than the virus itself...
