Some viruses are crafty and link themselves to "system restore" so that they are impossible to remove.

You could try disabling system restore.Then boot your PC in safe mode and run your antivirus and antispyware so that without the protection of system restore the virus can be identified and deleted.

If that works, remember to re-enable system restore.

Hope this helps.
