A virus has infected your Windows System Restore file

Hits:34

You tried to use Windows XP's System Restore to revert to your computer's last known good configuration, but the System Restore file appears to be infected with a virus.
 
As with any other form of backup, WinXP's System Restore protects your data and settings against bad installations better than it protects against a virus. According to McAfee, VirusScan can hunt down viruses even in your System Restore files¡ªit just needs a little help opening the door. You need to disable System Restore and then run VirusScan.
 
To disable System Restore, right-click the My Computer icon, click Properties, and then choose the System Restore tab in the System Properties window. Check the Turn off System Restore box and then click OK.
