I have found that many spyware programs will hijack the windows restore feature so that even if you have a good spyware removal program (My favorite is: SpySweeper.)
Here’s how to turn off the system restore feature:
- Goto your desktop.
- Select My Computer.
- Right-click and choose properties.
- Select the tab: system restore.
- Select the option: Turn off System restore on all drives.
- Press: OK
- Run your spyware removal tool
- Reboot
You should be good to go now.

Actually this is a wise move… and may be the only choice if you have been using an antivirus software of a reputable nature, like Norton.
