Hi

It looks like a copy of a deleted virus or trojan in your C:\_RESTORE
directory.

I'd put it in the Recycle Bin and then do a AV scan.

Are you sure it froze? This file is very big so it could have just appeared
to have frozen.

Yes it did freeze.i couldn't use the mouse then after a couple of minutes
blue screen with"disk write error,unable to write to disk c".This happened
with two files in the restore folder so i took them out put them in the
recycle bin,did another virus scan and everything seems fine.What do i do
with the files in the recycle bin,is it ok to delete them.Thanks for your
help.

If they're from the 'restore' folder; I'd assume that they are safe
to delete. If you're not sure; you could rename them and put them away,
somewhere, until you are; but it's *very* unlikely that you need to.
