I was thinking maybe system restore, the thing is explorer.exe is disabled due to the virus.

Would system restor be the best solution?

i dont think that will be the best solution since most virus infect the restore points too. I would suggest you trying nod32 anti virus. It has a 30day trial so clean ur pc and after da u want to keep it then buy it.

I also have to say that it is one the best anti virus out there.

go into your task manager and make sure it isnt running a process when your AV tries to delete it.

AV programs wont delete a file that is running a process.....you'll have to stop the process then delete the file.
