    If you reactivated system restore, you must have that folder. How did you delete the folder?

    What is it that you think you are infected with?

    When I scan for viruses this file comes up as infected.
    C:\_RESTORE\TEMP\A0000132.CPY virus

    I located the folder, but when following the procedures listed somewhere in this forum the only meesage I recieve is Access denied.

    You must disable system restore. That does not mean delete the directory.

    Information on this is included in the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal
