I think there is a easy solution, Those things are mostly attach with
Internet Explorer to work and run again with IE startup, so just goto
Tools->Internet Options->Advance-> and remove a check from
"Enable Third party browser extensions (Require restart)" (of IE).
by default it is checked and close all the IE windows, re-open it will
not run again with IE. also winpatrol is a good tool to remove BHOs
and other spyware from startups. try it frm http://www.winpatrol.com
OR look for any BHO remover. No need for system restore :-)

The restore points are located in the hidden system volume information folder.
MS KB 307545 is a starting point for what you want to do

I have System Restore on for a reason and it has saved me many times in the
past but disabling and then enabling System Restore loses all of the restore
points I've created and need.  Is there any way to "save" or "export" these
restore points in any way, scan them when System Restore is off, then
re-acquire them somehow so they can once again be used?

And for the record, if you need to boot to Safe Mode to get rid of that
cruft, you probably should also turn off System Restore (in XP), just in
case it's also hiding in there and restores itself on the next reboot.
