Perhaps you should try "show hidden files and folders"
first. (You can do through windows explorer, Tools, Folder
options).

The worm is in the system restore where the antivirus can't remove it and you can't see the folder contents. Go to My computer, properties, system restore TAB and turn off system restore click OK to the message and it should blow away your worm. Turn system restore back on. Cheers and a happy New Year

Hi Sebas

Right click on My Computer, select Properties and then the System Restore tab. Enable 'Turn off System Restore on all drives' and reboot your PC. After the reboot go back into System Restore and disable 'Turn off System Restore on all drives' and reboot again. After the second reboot System Restore will create a new Point for you and the virus would have been deleted.

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:
