Will a 'system restore' remove a virus that my laptop got today?

I used a softwear that windows prompted me to run once it said i had 3 viruses.
It removed some but said I needed to purchase/ get the trial to remove the rest...

will system restore fix/ rid the virus?

That prompt is probably malware. Don’t do it. Yes system restore to a previous date should fix it. If no do a complete restore you’ll have to reinstall many updates though.
