Default System Restore incomplete

I've been hit with adware and spyware. I've been attempting a System
Restore, but each time I try, after rebooting, the System Restore is
"Incomplete." I'm not given a reason, so I don't have any idea what could be
interfering (besides, obviously, the adware crud). This happens regardless
of the date I set, i.e. 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months back.

Hi

That would suggest that one or more of the System Restore
files have become corrupt. You can try turning SR off/on, although you will
lose all existing checkpoints:

Right click on My Computer and select PropertiesSystem Restore. Enable
'Turn off System Restore on all drives' - then reboot your PC. Go back into
SR and disable 'Turn off...' and then reboot again. After the second reboot
you should have one new checkpoint and SR should work properly after that.
