Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool

[Guest]

While running the malicious software removal tool (just after downloading the
same) saw the message

"Currently scanning


F:\System Volume
Information\_restore{542b07d5-...\AOW_datalight_PythonModules.zip"

Observed that it took some time for the tool to scan the above mentioned file.
Later on checking the drive F: there was no such directory available.
(System Volume Information)

Could any one tell what is to be done.

Note that System Restore points do not contain plain .zip files within
that folder, usually. However, that file might have been unpacked from
another file in order to scan.

See above. You may also want to consider disabling the System Restore
tool for all drives except the drive holding the operating system.

Why don't you check the log file in order to see if there was something
wrong: %windir%\Debug\mrt.log

Thanks for the reply.
