Uninstall, if possible. If unsure, ask first. The restore points are likely corrupt, since you've got an infection, so disable it to clear out all previous restore points. Reboot. Then create a new one, so you have something to fall back on. It's only for temporary, since it contains infected files. Next, clear out all temp files with CCleaner, if you have it. Then download, install and update MalwareBytes' anti-malware. It's one of the best, and it's free.
