>> If it's in the _RESTORE folder, it's not doing any harm. It's in the
>> System Restore archive, and it won't do anything unless you use System
>> Restore to restore to a point before when the virus hit. If you are
>> uneasy about it, here is the procedure to clear the virus, but it is
not

>> 1. Right-click My Computer, and click Properties.
>> 2. Click the Performance tab.
>> 3. Click the File System button.
>> 4. Click the Troubleshooting tab.
>> 5. Put a checkmark next to Disable System Restore.
>> 6. Click OK, then click OK again. Immediately reboot.
>> 7. Repeat steps 1 through 4.
>> 8. Remove the checkmark next to Disable System Restore.
>> 9. Click OK, then click OK again. Immediately reboot.
>> That will clear the virus out of the _RESTORE folder, but it will also
>> cost you all of your System Restore points.
