how to delete files in restore directory

After cleaning out a virus infection, there are several infected files lingering in C:\_Restore\temp that TrendMicro is identifying as infected.

The antivirus app cannot access those files.

System Restore is currently disabled to prevent reinfection.

How do I delete/remove those infected files in the restore folder?

Hi bluewing - if you have disabled System Restore, once you restart, all the contents will be dumped. See Symantecs instructions here for disabling and re-enabling System Restore in WinME.

Thanks AnnMarie.

It worked as you said. Restore dumped those nasty little beggars.

Cool bluewing!!! Glad I could help BTW I have to edit your post. In some countries, the last word is offensive although I know that you did not mean it to be
