Virus In System Restore.

Recommended Posts

XP uses a hidden system folder called the System Volume folder to store information needed to create restore points for the System Restore feature. Sometimes a file in this folder might contain a virus. You can get rid of it by turning off System Restore and deleting all the restore points, but that might not be the best solution. It's possible to keep the existing restore points and just get rid of the offending file, but you'll need to use the info in KB article 309531 to access the folder.
