Hey guys.I have had a bad past with viruses and after reformatting win7 a million times enough is enough! Right now my computer (knock on wood) is virus free. If I were to buy an external hdd and create a system image on it, and say my computer got a virus. Will restoring that system image to the computer erase the virus and put it back into its original state?

Put your money into an anti-virus solution first.
Yes, if you have an image, then you can re-image your machine at any time to that state. (note possible loss of data)
And any virus is likely to have already propagated to every storage device ever plugged into the machine, and any other systems on the network.
