No it doesn't.

It removes registry entries, but the files remain on the computer.

Yea, you can usually do it from any point of time. But, what I'd is restore it back to when it was fine and get anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-adware programs on the comp. to protect it from another virus plus it protects from Trojan Horses (which are a major pain)!!

if system restore didn't remove files it wouldn't fix problems. For instance, say you have a trojan or some virus. If system restore didn't wipe it from your computer, then what use would system restore have? Occasionally I have used it to save my computer due to the failings of Norton.

If you've just got a virus, just use some kind of anti-virus software to get detect it and get rid of it. System Restore will get rid of everything on your computer.
