ICE Virus

[Guest Joshua_947]

I got on my desktop computer the other night and found that I had the ICE virus. It is the one where the computer is locked and it says you have to pay to unlock you computer. Well, I tried to boot the computer in all 3 safe modes the computer would just end up shutting down. I was able to get to system restore eventually by booting with the Windows 7 disk. I got an error though something like x08000ffff. I then was able to sign in and the ICE virus appeared to be gone and then a window popped up that said that the system restore was successful. I should mention here that I disconnected the computer from the internet and that I restored my computer to a month back to May 2. The odd thing is is that there are files that were on my computer that where made on June 10 at 12 pm which at the time I was looking it was 10 am on June 10. So far the ICE virus as not locked my computer and I have not reconnected to the internet. So my question is did the system restore work and is the ICE virus gone? This computer does have McAfee (which I can't get to scan as it needs an update and needs to connect to the internet to do so) and originally had Vista as the OS and was upgraded to 7 but that was some years ago.
