Troj Revop.A Help!

I am running Windows XP and this morning I did a virus scan and found two files:
C:\Windows\LastGood\notepad.exe and
C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe
I restarted in Safe Mode, searched and found them and deleted them.
Tonight, I did another virus scan and found these two files:
C:\SystemVolumeInformation\_restore(E144E665-8959-4686-AD12-B148C9C948E3)\RP454\A0041861.exe and
C:\SystemVolumeInformation\_restore(E144E665-8959-4686-AD12-B148C9C948E3)\RP454\A0041862.exe
However, I can not find these two files anywhere...
Can someone please help me? This is the first computer virus I have dealt with and I am not very experienced!
Thank you!
Beth

 

they are in your system restore. Turn off system restore, rescan, and then turn restore back on

 

Hi beth1299

Welcome to Wilders.

Looks like those 2 files are in your systems restore.

What u have to do is disable your Systems Restore, reboot and those files will be gone. Do another scan afterwards just to be sure.

Make sure u renable your systems restore afterwards and create a new restore point.

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone:

New here, and this is almost exactly my problem. After looking at some instructions for how to do things, this was the first post I looked at and bingo, there I was, looking at the problem I was having. Thanks for your knowledge.
