Detection of a Virus

[Merlin]

Hi hope you can help me here. I ran an anti-virus program
and it detected a W32/lentin.worm in my C\system volume
information\_restore. Problem is I can't seem to locate
that file ???? What have over looked? How can I delete
that worm virus?

HELp !!!!!

You ever heard of a Anti-Virus program?? How about Norton! You can
download or go to the store and purchase.

Greetings Merlin,

The folder you specified is actually where System Restore keeps its files. To remove these,
simply turn off System Restore and turn it back on.

To do so, click Start, the *right-click* My Computer, choose Properties and then click the
System Restore tab. Uncheck "Turn off System Restore on all drives" and click Apply. Click
Yes if asked to confirm this, then check the box again (to turn it back on) and click OK.
