Thats your system restore folder,follow instructions below for disabling then enabling.

SYSTEM RESTORE XP

To turn off System Restore click Start > Right Click My Computer > Properties. Click the System Restore tab and Check "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives" Click Apply. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this then Click OK.

This will create a new Restore Point.

hi TheBruce1
did what you said will this get rid of the trojan
many thanks mrbloby
Hi

Yes, this will remove the trojan. It was safe in the System Restore points, unless you ever decided to do a System Restore. You will now have a new, clean System Restore point and the trojan will be deleted.
Many Thanks To All Keep Up The Good Work
