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:

My AVG antivirus program found "Trojan horse Downloader. Tooncom.T"
in C:\System Volume
Information\_restore{6A0189FD-82AF-408D-AC78-1136DBEDC634}\RP132\A0016
208.EXE" AVG cannot remove it. I went into the registry manually
and wasn't able to find this particular extension. However, I did
find similar ones. How do I get in there to remove it? Other
anti-spyware and antivirus programs don't seem to be able to access
anything in System Restore. thanks.
