I've seen viruses lately that also infect files in the recovery/restore partition, resulting in reinfection after restoring the system. Some also infect the MBR (master boot record). Cleaning these sort of infections is difficult and time-consuming. Sometimes the only solution is to wipe the drive completely and reinstall the system from CD/DVD. This is why when I purchase a Windows machine I pay the extra $$ for a complete system installation disc.
