Why did you do the restore? What were you trying to rectify? The best option would be to undo the system restore.
Another option is to re-install windows and make sure you choose Upgrade option.

I think you should repare your windows,if you are using windows XP go through the same steps as if you were going to install windows and instead of choosing setup choose repair,notedon't select the option that says using recovery console, but proceed to setup and you will find a repair option below the setup option).

Start your computer in safe mode, then run the anti-virus.

Your machine is infected with a virus. Some viruses prevent you from running utilities that might allow you to disable them, like the registry editor. My suggestion would be to get a virus specialist in front of your PC.
