    I picked up a Trojan Horse virus the other day, and was able to remove it
    using AVG virus protection. But I keep getting a pop-up that it has been
    found in "C:\System Volume Information\_restore..." How do I remove it
    from there? Also, is AVG a good enough Anti-virus software? If not what
    is?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Disable System Restore.

    Ah! System restore, the well known virus refuge. Turn off system
    restore. Scan. Turn on system restore. You will lose all your restore
    points but you wouldn't want to restore a virus would you.

    AVG is superb.

    System Volume Information restore

    The original SVI Trojan was in system restore even though it was shut off. I have turned it off and on again. But the problem is not IN the restore file. That is merely where the files get placed from some other place. They reappear over and over.
