I went through computer with a stinger to get rid of virus, it found 2, but
the virus keeps popping up and that there i am out of virtual memory
 
Ensure you are using a proper program such as Norton Firewall or Trend and
insure your virus definitions are up to date.

Also scan for spyware (use SpyBot or similar), again ensure its up to date -
it might be a spyware embeded into IE which is restoring the virus.

Note that a virus in a Restore Point is completely innocuous, and
can't cause a problem unless you restore from that Restore Point.
It's not completely necessary, but it's OK to disable System
Restore *after* getting rid of the virus as long as you then turn
it back on, and create a new Restore point.
 
One thing, not to step on toes but in the system restore, you also need to slide the amount of restore space to 0%, this will get rid of the virus in restore only, .Unfortunately it will also do away with restore points. unless you find the one that has it. Most anti virus programs won't get rid of it from restore and will keep popping up the message that it's there unless you do this.
