Download the English version, or your preferred language, then run that on your computer.
That will clean any and every virus you have.

Restoring the computer won't eliminate the virus. You need to get rid of the virus first. Otherwise you'll be right back where you started.
With that said, to restore your computer, you have a couple options. If you have the original disk that came with the computer, put the disk in the drive and then reboot the computer. It should bring up a screen with several options, one of which should be system restore. It will walk you through it. If you don't have the disk, go to your control panel and see if you can find system restore there. If it's not there, you might also find it by going to Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Restore. When it loads, there should be an option to "restore my computer to an earlier time." Choose it and then follow the onscreen instructions.

The computer should have disks for rebooting the computer. They usually come with it, because mine did. So, whenever my computer gets messed up with a virus, or whatever, I just restore it with the disks. It walks you step by step & then your computer is all fixed. Bad thing is, if you use AIM or Yahoo, you have to download the messengers again. =[
