Hmmm.....I thought that HijackThis just tells you what is going on it doesn't clean anything does it? I would think that you might want to run CWShredder. And any AV clean up will tell you that you need to turn off the Restore before you clean up an infected hdd. But I don't remember any Spyware that hides in the Restore feature. Of course, there are a lot of things I don't remember nowadays!
