Following steps has worked for few getting error while System Restore.

1) Start the computer and press f8 on boot up and select 'Safe Mode without networking'.
2) In the start menu type 'cmd' (without quotes) and on the top search result right click the program and choose 'run as administrator'
3) Type "net stop winmgmt" without quotes and press enter to make certain the WindowsManagementInstrumentation (WMI) service is not running.
4) In the start menu click 'computer' on the right hand side. Go to the windows\system32\WBEM\ folder and rename the Repository folder to something else like OLDRepository (right click and choose 'Rename Folder'.
5) Reboot and restart as normal.
6) In the start menu type 'cmd' (without quotes) and at the top right click the program and choose 'run as administrator'
7) Type 'net stop winmgmt' (without quotes) and press enter to stop the wmi service.
8) Type 'winmgmt /resetRepository' (without quotes) and restart the system.

bccarne, did you try the above steps. Did it work for you ?

My problem got resolved. After trying for 15 days and searching for hours and hours on the net I did not find any solution until today when I just went to download.com site for downloading utility software. I came across Malwarebytes Anti Malware. I installed it and ran a quick scan. It identified following and delete them successfully.

Registry Keys Infected: 3
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\msliksur (Trojan.DNSChanger)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msliksurserv (Rootkit.Agent)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\RichVideoCodec (Trojan.FakeAlert)

Files Infected: 1
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\msliksurserv.sys (Rootkit.Agent)

I restarted my PC and System Restore started working. Thanks a lot to Malwarebytes Anti Malware. Its excellent Anti Malware. I tried running many anti virus, spywares, adwares but nothing worked.
