I scan about once every 2 days and recently I detected these two viruses on my machine and removed them. Well, now, every time I scan, with all detection options... I get a clean bill of health from bullguards scanners but then, randomly I'll get a little warning popup saying this.

" C:\system Volume Information\_restore(69a41e6d-a254-41e1-baca-f1808be6333)\rp108\." and it keeps going but gets cut off. and I get a message first saying its infected with Backdoor.Agobot.3.gen and then one saying its suspect of Trojan.downloader.small.gen

every time I scan i get nothing but bullguard detects this when the virus actually tries to do something so, how can i get rid of this.

I fixed windows so that I could actually see this "system volume information" but i cant open it because windows wont let me. and if bullguard sees nothing when scanning then i cant get rid of it.

In order to delete the files located in System Restore's folder you should disable System Restore.

To disable System Restore follow the indications from:

--- for Windows XP:

1. Right click the My Computer icon on the Desktop and click on Properties;
2. Click on the System Restore tab;
3. Select each drive and:
a) click Settings;
b) Move the ruler to miniminum;
c) Press OK and confirm the eventual confirmation;
4. Put a check mark next to 'Turn off System Restore on All Drives';
5. Click the 'OK' button;
6. You will be prompted to restart the computer. Click Yes.
When System Restore is disabled the content of the folder is deleted, the infected files included.
