I really need to run the system restore but am having some annoying problems- i've managed to get into the registry editor and am trying to enable system restore by entering the binary code value 0, but every time i change it to this it automatically changes back to 1, thus disabling it again so i can't actually do the restore- somebody please help!

The instructions for enabling system restore are below, however it won't solve your problem. When system restore is disabled it stops making restore points, so even if you're able to reactivate the service there will be no restore points for you to revert back to. Offering help on how to remove your virus is beyond the scope of your question, so I'll stay on topic. Post another question if you want more help on the topic, and make sure you let us know your operating system.

Right-click on My Computer and select Properties. Under the System Restore tab, UNCHECK the box labeled "Disable System Restore." If that box is already unchecked, then the problem lies within your system services.

~ Enabling System Restore System Service ~
Right-click on My Computer and select Manage. Select the "Services and Applications" tab from the sidebar (the window on the left) and then select "Services." Navigate to "System Restore Service" and set it's status to "Automatic." Close the Computer Management window.
