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?

Maybe, but reloading maybe the real fix ify you really are compromised. Try the software fixes, but back up data- it might be infected, so dont insert anywhere it can infect without great scanning software. Worst case, lose data and reload windows.
