A virus in the _restore directory could not be deleted, I'm assuming you're using Windows XP and the _restore directory is the directory in windows for system restore (to return your computer to a previous date) therefore windows blocks all access as far as deleting and saving in that directory to keep viruses out of it.. The only way a virus could have got in that directory in the first place is if you had a virus when windows created a restore point, so if you ever go back to the date it created that restore point you'd have that virus, as far as the virus doing anything now FROM that directory (since you can't even read the files in there the virus wouldn't be able to run) but most antivirus programs will pick it up, but it will not affect your system as long as the virus isn't resident in any other program files NOT in that directory.. Hope this helps.. Matt
Hello.... Here I am sitting with a very stiff neck working now foar about 5 hours to clean up a virus in the restore CAB... I "caught it" w/ my antivirus & Spyware scan... but could not remove it... But.... I typed the path into the address bar & when I got to C:_Restore/A ...then down dropped the LIST!!!! I scrolled down to the file number & clicked delete!! Amazing stuff ! I now have been able to access my PC to finish the scans... I just found 249 bots which are now being deleted! The PC was REALLLY Habging up & crashing prior to this!
