We have XP Home and our virus program (AVG) detects a virus in the System
Volume Information. When we run the scanner it doesn't pick it up. I
understand that it's a different ball game when a virus is in this section
of XP as XP only uses it for restoring.

How do I delete the files in System Volume Info? This is the only method
right?

Thanks for your attention and any help you can give us.
