Free some space on the hard disk.
Check if the System Restore service is started and set to automatic.

I have attached the Snapshot. System Restore is enabled. But when there are any spywares i want to disable system restore and scan for them.

Here is the snapshot of how my System Restore tab is in System Properties.
