Malware infections can mess up a system enough to where a repair/reinstall of Windows 
is sometimes necessary. Let's take one thing at a time, but just cleaning your system 
likely won't put everything back to normal. 

It's just a long shot having you try restoring a good registry backup, and we shouldn't 
count on it. You can still follow my previous instructions. Then before rebooting, 
delete the Restore volume following the instructions below. (A registry restore has 
nothing to do with ME's System Restore). 

I'd read that you said the trojan was in the Restore folder. You can NOT delete that 
folder in Windows or Safe mode, because it's a protected folder. In order to delete 
the entire folder, you need to boot with the startup disk and use the DOS command 
for delete. 

Note: Deltree is a very powerful command. Anything you type after it, will be permanently 
deleted. This will delete all of the temp files in that folder. How to do it: 

Boot your system with the startup disk in the floppy drive. At the A: prompt, type 
the command below in Bold. (Note the space)
 
 DELTREE C:\_RESTORE

Once it's finished, remove the disk from the drive and Ctrl_Alt_Del to get back into 
Windows. Let us know how it goes.
