Re: Infected Restore file- get rid of it how?

I am a little confused about the monitored drive. The CDROM drive is the D
drive. Can there exist a monitor D: partition? Are drive letters and
partition letters different? In other words can a same letter exist for
both?

Hi Susan,

Is the D:\ partition being monitored by System Restore?

How to disable a monitored drive:

Restore Point Problem



Infected restore point cannot be cleared using the reset and re-enable
System Restore

However based on the results it appears that the file is located on a
CDROM (CDFS) and not on the C fixed disk.



Freedom lists the virus as D:\SYSTEM VOLUME
INFORMATION\_RESTORE{46DE8921-1D39-44D2-A9E9-64119261F211}\FIFOED\A0009633.EXE
but I cannot find this anywhere and when I scan my computer with Freedom
it does not find it after this initial startup alert. Please help!
