I had a similiar problem with mine and a friend came over and installed a program called Symantec Antivirus. You then have to disable the restore feature of your computer then run the program. It cleaned my computer clean. You have to disable the restore feature first when you run an anti virus program so it cleans everything. He said the restore feature does't really work that well anyway and advised me just to keep it disabled and run the anti virus program periodically. By disabling the restore feature built into the computer, it doesn't affect anything or harm anything. It just keeps your computer from restoring an infected earlier saved store. (The computer runs this restore feature on its own). This was all per what my friend told me as I am not a computer whiz but it worked great and my computer is okay now. He told me that if that hadn't of worked, I would have to have saved my things on a CD then reboot windows. Hope this helps and good luck.
