Infection in Restore folder (Windows ME)

You can not remove infected files in Restore folder.

Follow these instructions to create a workaround (no data will be lost):

  • Close all open programs.
  • Then, right-click My Computer on the Windows desktop
  • Click Properties.
  • Click the Performance tab.
  • Click File System.
  • Click the Troubleshooting tab.
  • Check Disable System Restore.
  • Ok your way out.
  • Click Yes to restart.

This disables the System Restore feature and will purge the contents of the _RESTORE folder when the system is restarted.

After finishing the removal instructions, repeat steps 1 through 9, except in step 6,  choose: uncheck Disable System Restore.
