Trojan Virus and System Restore

My computer was infected with the trojan virus "navidad". Anti-virus programme has cleaned up infected files and registry, but some files in System Restore are still infected. The anti-virus programme (PC-cillin) "sees" it, but does'nt manage to isolate or delete these infected files. What do I do?
