I had Trojan downloader.A & downloader.S that my anti-
virus says was in my C:\RESTORE\TEMP file, I am using AVG
free edition, I was able to put these viruses in the AVG
virus vault.
I disabled system restore and rebooted (didn't go into
safe mode) ran AVG which showed 'no viruses found', I
then deleted them from the virus vault.
I was told that when you use this method, by disabling
system restore and rebooting removes the infected file.
It certainly worked in my case.
I then enabled system restore and set a restore point.
Haven't had any problems since.
