If you restore you may go to a date when the virus is still on there, so you wont lose anything by turning it off.

Re-install windows or, Buy mcaffe security safer blocks anti-virus from keep breaking your computer down.

good plan

Take out hard drive.

Throw over neighbours fence.

Walk off, relieved.

it says:

System Restore option in Windows Me/XP
Windows Me and Windows XP users should temporarily turn off System Restore. This feature, which is enabled by default, is used by Windows Me/XP to restore files on your computer in case they become damaged. When a computer is infected with a virus, worm, or Trojan, it is possible that the virus, worm, or Trojan could be backed up by System Restore. By default, Windows prevents System Restore from being modified by outside programs. As a result, there is the possibility that you could accidentally restore an infected file, or that on-line scanners would detect the threat in that location. For instructions on how to turn off System Restore, read your Windows documentation or one of the following articles:

Have a look there, it tells you what to do, quite an annoying one by the looks of it.

I have ad-aware which im running, and AVG is my antivirus so hopefully it'll pick it up.

I've had AVG report spyware/downloaders before and it couldn't deal with them. Spybot could though.

does spybot get rid of viruses?

Try Spybot S&D.

Search google for it.
