Frequent backups of hard drive contents as a "Drive Image" using such software as Ghost, Acronis True Image, etc. to an external drive or network storage would have prevented all this time-consuming hassle restoring systems. This kind of system backup should be adopted by all! It would save countless man-hours restoring systems damaged by malware.
With new malware subverting the System Restore function, it's the only good way to restore a system close to the way it was before infection. The degree of closeness will only depend on the frequency of making the Drive Image backups.
