Idle temps of 29C are awesome and as good as you'll likely ever get on air cooling. From here its about keeping your load temp as low as possible. Or if you are trying for a quiet/silent computer, keeping your load temp low enough.

restore points backup your registry as well as some of the most key system files. If you've had a virus for awhile, and its a virus that embeds itself in the registry, then yes its possible it could get partially saved with a restore point. But MOST viruses are quite noticeable. The only two scenarios I could think of where a Virus would be allowed to persist on a system long enough for it to get backed up like that would be A. one of the very few viruses that are "silent" B. A user who learns to live with it and/or probably already has a ton of other shit on their computer that they've been living with, so another thing is just lost in the noise. You'd be surprised at what people will leave unfixed on their computers. Its hard to imagine how they could even use them at all.

Restore points are your friend. Turn them on and as I said, make sure they happen a few times a week and are saved for about two weeks before they auto delete. This will give you plenty of headroom should you ever have major problems.
