Trojan horse downloader

My virus software is telling me that
Trojan Horse Downloader.Swizzor.C has been found in C:\System Volume information\_restore{FFBCCFFF-AF92-47F4-AOC1-CF4CC2DFA447}\RP178\A0026768.ex

I have run both my virus software and malware software but nothing is found. Windows denies access to this folder but is telling me that this folder is empty
How can I cure this problem?

Turn off system restore , reboot , then turn system restore back on. This
will delete the virus file from the restore files. Jym

Greetings --

To clear viruses from the "System Volume Information," simply turn
off the System Restore feature (Start > All Programs > Accessories >
System Tools > System Restore, System Restore Settings), reboot, then
re-enable System Restore, and reboot one last time. This will delete
all of your Restore Points, including the corrupted one(s), and allow
you start with a clean slate.

However, if you have Restore Points that you'd really rather not
lose, and know which one is corrupted, very carefully try this:
