Virus in system restore, what do i do?

[Bulldog]

Hi Guys,

I am running Windows XP Home addition and have just finished doing an
anti-virus check using AVG and it has reported a virus, the details are:

Trojan Horse Downloader.Generic2.RAR

File Size: 64.48KB (6602227 bytes)

C:\System Volume
Information\_restore{5213C6C8-C5FB-4B14-9A3A-99B6A995BB99}\RP228\

I would greatly appreciate it very much if any of you guys can give me some
advice on what to do next?

Many many thanks,

Dave

You'll need to turn off SR and then turn it back on.
