How to kill a major virus (System Restore)... FIVE GIGABYTES ...
I have found system restore is the hard way to go and not very reliable when symantec products are involved. I don't think there is a difference between ME or XP in this situation though XP is much more stable. I again suggest you use more than one AV product as well as a good trojan/worm removal tool.

Delete ALL system restore points and start new
So I thought before I do anything I had better create a restore point just in case. Well it turns out there are no restore points available and I cannot create a new one.
