Also, system restore doesn't quite work like that. You probably still have the virus unless you went through the painstaking task of manually removing it, which is never easy and always annoying, and not always 100% do-able.
I suggest reformatting if it was a bad one. Back-up your stuff and do a clean install of windows from the disc.
