Today I installed WinXP Pro in the E:\ drive of my m/c.
There are around 300 files in the directory E:\System Volume
Information\_restore{377478FB-B96E-4FC4-B346-523378858981}\RP1 whose
names are in this form - A000*.* where the first * is any number or
letter (any number of times) & the second * is a letter (3 times which
is the file extension). Some e.g. are A0000088.ocx, A0000090.ocx,
A0000049.exe, A0000153.exe, A0001271.exe, A0001290.exe, A0000016.dll,
A0000103.dll, A0001211.dll, A0001226.dll, A0000191.cfg, A0001261.cfg,
A0000216.cpl, A0001209.pbk, A0001205.nfo, A0000027.PNF, A0000047.PNF,
A0001277.cat, A0001267.inf etc.
After updating my anti-virus AVG7.5, when I scanned my m/c., AVG
listed only 1 one these files as a trojan & didn't say anything about
the rest.
By the name of all these files, it appears that these are some
malicious files. Can someone please tell me whether it will be safe
for me to delete all such files?
