Viruses in [driver]:/Volume System Infomation

[Jack]

I can't get to those directories. How can I get rid of the
viruses inside those directories? My virus scanner always detects viruses
inside.
Thanks

That's the folder where System Restore keeps it's restore points. Viruses
in there can't hurt you unless you restore to one of those infected restore
points. If the rest of the system is clean, just turn off system restore
and reboot. This will purge all restore points, then turn it back on and
create a new restore point.

Right click My Computer | Properties | System Restore tab.
