After that, restart your computer into Safe Mode, using the instructions below, then run the Stinger tool repeatedly till no viruses are detected.
Restart the computer, pressing the F8 key once per second, till it loads a selection screen. Use the up and down arrows to select "Safe Mode", press enter, and the computer will load into a safe mode. It looks like a normal screen but with Safe Mode in each of the four corners. When you?re done, restart the machine and it will boot normally.

When you're done, then you can "re-enable" System Restore by "reversing" the procedures in the instructions above, then restart the computer into "normal" Windows.
