Download a trusted antivirus software.:sarc:Don't know who doesn't these days.
As for a system restore, Control Panel>(View by Icons) Recovery>Open System Restore. You'll have to have set up a recent restore point though.

If there is no restore point in the list to a point behind when the problem started then there is no point in creating one now. You would just restore the problem, surely!
