A0010588.exe - Is this a false positive?

    I ran a scan of all three of my hard drives using Avast Pro on it's highest sensitively settings.

    The log at the end usually is filled with "False Positives" that I know for a fact are NOT harmful files.

    However, I did notice two entries for my M:\ and N:\ drives I use for storage. It says the following files are infected:

    M:\System Volume Information\...\A0010588.exe
    N:\System Volume Information\...\A0009054.exe


    I have un-hidden those folders but access is denied. Should I be alarmed by these or are they two false positives?

    Thanks! ;)

    Thanks. I went ahead and just cleared out the system restore info myself so this took care of the issue (not that it ever really was an issue, I was just curious).

    Thanks for the help! ;)
