[Guest]

I seem to have this virus in my system .I keep geting the message ( to remove run AVG for windows ) this i have done on numerous occasions and it comes up all clear . I have also tried running Norton anti virus and Adware spy but to no avail .
The virus seem s to be hiding in ( C:\SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION ) but when i try to get access to this file i keep getting the message ( C:\ VOLUME INFORMATION is not accessible access is denied .
Can anyone help me with this as it is driving me nuts .
Cheers therickster0

Hi

You will need to stop/start System Restore - this will also delete all
existing checkpoints:

Right click on My Computer, select Properties and then the System Restore
tab. Enable 'Turn off System Restore on all drives' and click Apply>OK.
Then reboot your PC. After that first reboot go back into System Restore,
disable 'Turn off System Restore on all drives' and click Apply>OK. Then
reboot your PC again. After this second reboot the virus would have been
deleted and you will have a newly created checkpoint.

System Volume Information is the collection of your restore points.
