3. Once viruses have been netrulised, wipe system restore.
System Restore should be disabled before step 1....

Wipe system restore last as, not all viruses store themselves there as well, so its possible to recover from them via system restore as a last resort. But wipe System Restore to fully get rid of them if they are hiding away in there after youve netrulised them from your system.
The point is that you do not know upfront what virus it is and if the virus fiddled with the system restore or not.
Not all virusses do indeed, but there are which do. Hence disabling system restore should be the first thing you need to do,
before doing a scan, this is even recommended on various scanner's sites.
