I don’t think so. Restoring your computer cannot have a bad effect on the machine in the long run. It’s just that frequently restoring the computer may cause applications to stop working. Restoring your system using System Restore is used only to restore the system back to a previous state indicated by the restore point you selected.

You cannot restore the computer if there are no available restore points to select. But restoring your computer back to an earlier state after a virus infection, I don’t think that would help because virus infection is a totally different thing. It cannot be removed by a simple system restore because the infection is tied to the operating system.

If you suspect your operating system is infected, you need to scan your system with an updated antivirus. Or download Sophos Virus Removal Tool. The tool works alongside any antivirus program you may have. You don’t need to uninstall or disable your antivirus to use the tool. Once installed, start Sophos then wait for the virus signature database to get updated.

When updating is complete, click to start scanning your machine. The tool scans everything on your computer including external devices connected via USB port. Scanning takes some time to finish depending on the size of the drive and the amount of data.

When a virus is found at the end of the scan, remove or delete it then repeat the scan over and over until it no longer detects a virus. Another thing, if you use System Restore after installing an application, it may cause the new program to stop working because you restored the system back to the state when the program is not yet installed.
