text: Hi jfitznc,\n\nThe good news is, yes, most of the time; Using the System Restore disk is your surefire bet to getting rid of the virus.\n\nImmediantly after you format/restore your system, I HIGHLY reccomend that you download a virus scanner (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmVLdYKgcntPhHyt6WuZ9afsy6IX?qid=1005120804379 ) and to a scan right away.  If your updated antivirus software does not detect anything -- you should be in the clear.  Keep your scanner running after this recovery so you don't get a virus again!
