As title really, can a simple system restore to last week fix a spyware / malware infection?

I want the fastest way to clean up an infected PC my mate asked me to look at
 
Ah, I had read threads where people where suggesting disabling system restore and there was no explanation given.

In the case where, say for example, I know the infection occurred on the 20th Nov if I rolled back to a system restore point on the 1st Nov the system should be clear of the spyware / malware infection yes?

Or are you saying that clever spyware / malware can infect the system restore details so even after a restore the problem persists?
