    I have ran 2 free anti-virus programs and they showed files that are supose to be in my C:/_Restore...etc. (listed below)

    I am wondering if these files are lying in my System Restore (win ME) and will boot up if I should restore to an earlier point? Or can they be removed?

    <!-- Since resolved, I have removed this part to avoid clogging ours and internet search engines, nothing personal, just housekeeping :) -->

    I have also ran my NAV 2004 and the program shows no threats.

    Opinions??

    Yes turn OFF your system restore and reboot that will clear the restore points and erase those nastys, once rebooted do run those AV scans again just to double check, then if ok turn on your system restore.
