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.


Don't do a system restore. Those files are likely infected and should be
removed. After following Leythos' instructions, disable system restore
and restart it.
