Virus

[steve]

I keep getting a report that a virus has been found in;
C:\System Volume Information\restore

It tells me to run scan to remove, but doesnt find it
when I run the scan, Does anyone know how to find the
system volume info, so i can delete it manually?
Thanks in advanced

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, and
then re-enable System Restore, if you like. This will delete all of
your Restore Points, including the corrupted one(s), and allow you
start with a clean slate.
