    maybe if you are running xp, look under that specific user, or go to macafee.com, they have a free virus remover for one time lol

    or just set your comp back to the day before you got the virus

    Right click-> Properties-> Show all Files..

    Search Function
    Also get CC Crap Cleaner, It may of spread info around everywhere, and could lead you to getting a virus again..

    You might want to go into safe mode and do another scan, just to make sure. System restore doesnt always solve the problem, sometimes it hides it even worse.
