only one issue with a system restore I encountered a while back: some viruses store themselves in the system restore area which is off limits to your virus scanner. So whilst you get it off your hd with conventional means, as soon as you roll back to a previous restore point guess who's back?

It was desperately annoying until I discovered that this was what was happening. Since then I have disabled system restore on both of my active hard drives.

If you're looking for a decent AV software, have a go with NOD32. They do a months free trial I believe and after that it's about 25 quid for a years subscription. Well worth it in my opinion.
