Sony VAIO recovery and viruses

[Guest]

Despite firewalls, my computer was infected with the ej.exe, nj.exe, and
funk.exe viruses/trojan horses. I was able to remove nj.exe with
anti-spyware programs, but none of my anti-virus or anti-spyware or
anti-trojan horse software was able to remove (or even recognize) ej.exe and
funk.exe.
Anyway, I did a system recovery to last week and and everything that wasn't
working now is and the above files are now off my hard drive. My question is
did the Sony VAIO recovery suscessfully remove the viruses or are they still
there somewhere? Or do I still need to do a full system recovery and
re-install all my programs and about 3GB worth of pictures (not fun)? Thanks.
