is this true about SPYWARE REMOVAL?

i read on cnet.com that if you catch a spyware infection early enough you can undo it with system restore if you restore your pc to before you were infected, is this true?? how reliable is that info??

Yes and No. Some spyware can be removed that way. But the nasty stuff can not. I would never use system restore to remove a spyware infection. If it can be removed by a restore. Then its not that deep in your system and most of the anti-spyware programs will be able to remove it. The other problem with system restore you would never be sure if it got rid of the infection.
