hi, ok good. hjt looks ok, online scanner results ok. i say your good to go. the why and how for system restore: One of the features of Windows ME or XP is the System Restore option, however if malware infects a computer with this operating system its possible that some malware can be backed up in the System Restore folder. Therefore, clearing the restore points is good idea. Only do this once and not on a regular basis. To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account. (winXP) 1. Turn off System Restore. (deletes old possibly infected restore point) On the Desktop, right-click My Computer. Click Properties. Click the System Restore tab. Check Turn off System Restore. Click Apply, and then click OK. 2. Reboot. 3. Turn ON System Restore.(new restore points on a clean system) On the Desktop, right-click My Computer. Click Properties. Click the System Restore tab. UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*. Click Apply, and then click OK, then reboot i have some prevention tips in link below. happy safe surfing
