can you run your anti-virus in safe mode. (safe mode means system restore turned off, yes? if no, turn it off so virus scan can scan that stuff otherwise is off limits come to think of it maybe that is all that is wrong. Start/Settings/Acessories/System Tools/System Restore. i think. or thereabouts

Try also Security Task Manager to see all running background programs & drivers incl. security rating (http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager). It deletes the virus after reboot.
