Virus in system volumn restore file |
|
|
My Bit Defender virus program has popped up a virus alert stating that
"c:\system volumn information_restore{fde0c025-926e-452d-855e-e1add ...} is
infected with: Worm.VB.CZ" ZIt goes on to say that "BitDefender has blocked
this virus - your computer has NOT been infected." I would like to delete
that particular file just to be safe. I tried from the safe mode but it
would not allow me to access the files in my system volumn information
folder (after turning off my system restore and restarting in safe mode.) Is
there another way to get rid of it?

You're welcome. :-)
By the way, you can get access to the System Volume Information folder.

How to gain access to the System Volume Information folder
But as I said, it doesn't do much good :-(

Turning System Restore off and back on flushes the System Restore cache. The
file should be gone. It is virtually impossible to identify a single file
in a System Restore Point, since they're all renamed.
