PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW... CAN RESTORING MY HP TO A POINT BEFORE THE VIRUSES,WILL IT GET RID OF THEM
 
Solution
A restore is a good place to start, but have you definitely got a virus?

Just because a trial anti virus has ran out does not mean you have viruses unless you suspect you have one.

Probably best getting one of the decent free ones first and doing a full scan

Windows defender, AVG, Avast etc <- get one of those and do a full scan
