  It's telling that your System Retore is infected. This means anytime
you clean the virus aand then doa system Restore, you will re-infect
your computer.

  You need to trun off System Restore. Re-boot your computer, and and
then turn System Restore back on.

  Note - this will erase the restore points you currently.
