avast has worked wonders for me. and i apologize ahead of time, sorry for the redundancy, but what exactly would a system restore do? don't all files stay in tact in a system restore? i know that programs are uninstalled that were installed after said date, but wouldnt a virus still linger?


i apologize for anything ridiculously stupid in that question, but unlike you guys i havnt done my research in this specific area. (i know i know, i should have)
