deletion of a restore file

[Guest]

I cleared the Haxdor trojan from my system a couple of weeks ago and
subsequently the scan ran clean. But now I have it in a restore file; it
could be that the old one was backed up or perhaps it is a new infection. The
message and location is as follows:
'Troj/Haxdor-Fam' detected in C:\System Volume
Information\_restore{8FD22EBF-9496-41BC-878F-BBD9792F9B3C}\RP953\A0133711.dll

I can't find the dll file or even the folder C:\System Volume Information\
in order to delete them. Is it possible to select a previous restore point
and delete it?

TIA ... Greg

to view that particular folder open 'my computer', select tools then folder
options, under view uncheck 'hide protected operating system files'...

i would suggest deleting your restore points as they have been infected and
taking a new one...

1, right click my computer
2, select properties
3, select the system restore tab
4, check 'turn off system restore'
5, open up my computer
6, select disk cleanup
7, select the 'more options' tab
8, click 'clean up' from the system restore section
9, click yes then ok
10, turn system restore back on if you wish

Go back into the Restore page and on the left side,
click System Restore Settings,
Click to Turn off system Restore on all drives.
Reboot,
Go back into system restore and remove the check mark,
Reboot.
Go back to System Restore and Create a new restore point

Hi Greg,

Virus scanner do not have the ability to remove virus infection from
restore points in the System Volume Information folder. Virus infection
found within restore points are dormant unless the system is restored
using an infected restore point. That's why it best to complete
infection removal before cleaning out infected restore points. To clear
out all existing restore point, turn System Restore off on all drives.
Then turn it back on after a reboot. I would suggest setting SR to only
monitor the partition Windows is installed on.

Best to delete all previos restore points prior to removing viruses that
way the virus cant come back.
