    Sort of. Turn System Restore OFF, then do a virus scan in Safe Mode. Upon rebooting, turn System Restore back on and the trojan should be gone. If, of course, your AV is any good.

    Yeah, as long as the restore point you choose is before you got the virus.

    Good Luck!

    no it cant, turn off system restore, then go to http://www.download.com and get Zone alarm, install it and run it, it will get rid of the trojan, then reboot your pc and and it will all be good.

    usually not. you should use a combination of a good antivirus and a good spyware program. SPYBOT S&D is good with Trojan’s but any antivirus software worth its salt that is up to date should be able to find and remove it or tell you how. some good free ones are AVG Free edition or Avast.

    yes, if you restore to a point before you got the virus.
