AV finds trojan in C:\System Volume Information

[b_man]

On two occasions, my AntiVirus has found some trojans in C:\System Volume Information...i allow it to delete the infected files since it can't repair them...my question is:

What is system volume information?? is it OK to let the AV delete these files?

The log is as under...

System volume info=where xp stores system restore data,more here *www.theeldergeek.com/system_volume_information_folder1.htm

if it is a virus,go and delete it

Its the folder, which contains "System Restore" files. So I think u shouldnt worry about it.

I'll also suggest u to disable "System Restore" and then delete this folder and then enable it again, if u use "System Restore".
