Default Spyware/Trojan...i can't restore...**Please Help**

I need some help...I've received some great help on this forum in the past so here I am again.

I'm not so good at the lingo so forgive me if i call things by the wrong names.

Here it goes. A 'program' called Seekmo has installed itself on my computer. It is basically inundating my computer with fake spyware alerts that direct me to advertisements for spyware protection software. Also, it has installed a toolbar in Internet Explorer that looks like a spyware remover.
I have run some scans and deleted some things but the program is still listed in my start menu and in the toolbar and the alerts are almost non stop.
I tried restoring my computer and each time it just says that the restore was incomplete. It does not explain why I can't restore. I went back as much as a month.

I am a little lost and I'm afraid of making things worse so now I need some advice from someone more experienced in this department. I will appreciate any help you all can give. Thank you in advance.
Meagan
