This is rarely the case of course. So I set out to develop my own procedure, and in the spirit of open source I am posting my procedure and notes, and invite you to critique what you see in the comments below.
1: You suspect your system has contracted a bug.
The car analogy: Think of your computer system as if it were a car. A car requires regular and consistent maintenance to keep it up and running safely and efficiently. Pay attention to things that your computer has either all of a sudden stopped doing, like failing to open I E or Firefox. Perhaps your system has either noticeably slowed down or sped up (some virus's will actually make the computer ran faster.
2:Disable "Windows System Restore"
The reason to disable system restore is to prevent the bugs from hiding out.
Open the start menu,
RC on Computer
LC Properties
LC system protection
LC on the C drive (the drive that Windows is usually store on)
