System Restore Calendar Doesn't work

[DogDaddy]

My computer has been running very slow. I've deleted all the temp int files,
ran spybot and adaware and it hasn't helped. When I try to do a system
restore, I try to click on the bold dates but it won't work. The calendar
seems frozen. I rebooted and tried several times and cannot get it to change
dates. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Hi,

You didn't mention if an antivirus program was run! That would be your
next step. If you are in need of antivirus software look here.

Yes, I did a complete file virus scan. Nothing found. But I suspect there
is something else slowing down my computer.
I noticed quite a few suspicious .exe files running in my task manager, but
I wasn't sure so I did not delete them.
Maybe I will try the system restore from the command line.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ed
