Virus has disabled System Restore?

A virus has disabled System Restore I think. I can't open up the Help Menu from the Start button to get to the System Restore Wizard. I've tried using Safe Mode but I'm not too familiar with it. I couldn't seem to do it from there either.

I've already run all the free anti-virus %26 anti-spyware stuff to no avail. It's also shut down my Task Manager, Windows Media Player, and I think it may be what's caused my internet to go down as well. So I'm really in a bind. I can't download anything from the internet.

Is there another way to get to System Restore or do you have any other suggestions? I'm going to end up reformatting but I need a solution in the meantime.

Tru to carry out in safe mode. If data on your hard disk is corrupted it is advisable to format the hard disk and reinstall the operating system (usually Windows XP) More details at http://fixit.in/format.html
