Re: System Volume Information viruses

Hi harry754, and welcome to TSF.

Quote:
at one point you used system restore and created a restore point that contained a virus that you were not aware of
That's one possible scenario. Another is that when a file is deleted by protection, it's also cached in System Restore point.

The best way to deal with those is to flush out old restore points, and set a new clean one.
