Hi Mike,
No. Windows ME and XP utilize a restore utility that backs up selected files automatically to the C:\_Restore folder. This means that an infected file could be stored there as a backup file, and system restore would restore an infected file. You must disable the System Restore Utility to remove the infected files from the C:\_Restore folder.
The safest way is to run and keep updated a good anti virus program. Never run windows as administrator, unless making system changes. Always run windows with the lowest privileges to prevent system changes.

In a system that runs on Windows XP and having multi user login system, I was told that a person without an admininstrative rights can surf and open any mail without any fear of Virus. And even if it get infected by virus we can alway use the "system restore to restore to the point to that point before the virus attack. IT IS TRUE ? Thanks
