Mr. Bouman has given you instructions how to turn off/on System Restore.
Here are some general malware removal steps (with System Restore
information there also):

If you are concerned, go through at least some of those steps.
As for AIM, there is nothing wrong with instant messaging programs per
se. What you need to do is train your users (like I train my kids) to
never click on links or accept files that come in IM's. I don't care
who the links or files are. My kids understand the risks (and what will
happen to their computers - and the consequences to them from Mom if
they mess up their computers) and I'm sure your kid is smart, too.
