During a virus scan with AVG two virus are detected Worm/Spybot.
They are detected in C:\System Volume Information\_restore
After the scan is complete, the report shows no virus found and vault is
empty.
I am using AVG 7 with latest updates and my Windows XP Pro is up to date.
Do I have these virus or is it being reported incorectly during scan.
If I do have them, then how do I clean?
TIA

Disable system restore, reboot, run AVG again which should then be able to
deal with the spybot worm. You can then re-enable system restore if you
want it and reboot again.
