Answer 1

Take it to repairing because they're pro's and they'd probably know what to do or go to download.com they have some thing there

Answer 2

There's no point doing a restore until you get rid of the spyware, use this.

Answer 3

"Ultimate Cleaner is a rogue Anti Spyware / Adware product, which shows fake malware detections on users machine.It also installs through Exploits , Malware bundlers."

Given this data, I can't figure out why you wouldn't want to get rid of it.

It may only cause more problems.

If you change your mind, the link below will tell you what to do to get rid of it.

System restore may not rid you completely of any virus/spyware/malware. Sometimes they can reinstall themselves, or so I'm told. But it may get back your icons.

Answer 4

To run a system restore simply press 'start' then look on the right side of the start menu for 'control panel'. Then click on 'performance and maintenance'. then in the upper left you will see 'system restore'. Click system restore, then select restore computer to previous date. Then simply select your date and you should be made in the shade =]

Answer 5
