You'll need to turn-off System Restore, reboot, then turn it back on.

| I have the blaster in my system restore somewhere and can't get rid of it. I have ran the blaster removal
tool and when I think it's gone; bam, it pops back up again. I have an IBM and have NO windows  xp disks. I
can do a reformat over and over again but the worm is still in the system. I think I know where it is (the
system restore) so I was wondering if there was a way to isolate the file and delete it, then do another
reformat, if it would be gone.??
