You should follow their instructions on system restore as far as setting a new restore point and disabling system restore while you remove the malicious files. You do not need to revert back to an old setting. As long as you do not restore to an earlier date with System Restore, you will not lose any files, other than 'backups' of files on your hard drive that are created in case of corruption of accidental deletion.
