Please read the following URL:
http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm
The objective:
------------------
- Turn off the System Restore function
- Reboot the PC
- Using your AV package, perform a full scan of all files on the platform and clean/delete
infectors found
- Turn on the System Restore function
- Reboot the PC
- Create a new System Restore point.
If you have problems, it can be done manually....
Use the WinME floppy boot disk and boot from drive "A:"
When you get to a DOS prompt enter the following command
attrib -r -s -h c:\_RESTORE
rename c:\_RESTORE c:\RESTORE.old
Reboot the PC.
In Windows delete the folder; c:\RESTORE.old
Please report back your results.

| My McAfee antivirus software has isolated multiple viruses
