I don't think I've ever seen a restore point that has been the target of an infection, if that's what you mean.
What I have seen is an infection that was there (possibly, low-level or dormant) before the restore point so doing the restore introduces that earlier version which does eventually "do its stuff".
I have DEFINITELY seen deep scans that identify infected material in the System Restore data store (the normally very well-hidden stuff) though whether they are potentially harmful or not it's difficult to say.
And yes, I have used System Restore with variable effect as one tool in the anti-malware war, though these days more to recover from "collateral damage" than directly eliminate the infection.

I do a Norton backup every 24 hours. If I'm doing 'maintenance' then I backup as I go. Thus I always have at least 2 weeks worth of backup data that can be search file by file.
If anyone has caught a virus then they should be looking at updating their virus and firewall software ASAP!
