I was infected with either a virus or spyware earlier today. I was able to use system restore to get to where I am functioning again but I do not believe all is well. I ran adaware, Norton and spybot. Spybot had some artifacts that it could not remove. Norton found two entries. I have yet to reboot for fear that the malware will reappear. I need desperate help. Thanks in advance for any help.
If the system restore is switched on the virus will reload when you restart. Turn off system restore. set a new point after its all cleaned and rebooted

Anything they say is critical, you can tell these people about and maybe they can help you further.
Remember, too, when you're clean your system to disconnect it from the internet. Many viruses and spyware programs will spawn themselves unless you clean them when isolated from the internet.
