    Using System Restore DOES NOT remove an infection. It only makes it harder to find. System Restore actually operates only on a very few system files and settings. System Restore backs up your registry...period. I say again, System Restore will NOT uninstall a program or an Infection. System Restore is meant to restore from very RECENT changes like just day or two, not weeks.
    So are you likely still infected? Probably. But since we have seen no logs we cannot say anything for sure, I just know if it was my computer I sure wouldn't be using it for anything important or store any personal files on it.

    So, I guess what you are saying is that since I did the system restore there is no way to tell if it is still in my computer, or just harder to find? I will send updated logs, but if they wont show anything, I guess I'll just have to take it somewhere, I dont know at this point what my next step should be. Here are the latest logs:
