The System Volume Information folder is difficult to access for a

reason. Make sure you know what you're doing.

Why ? There's nothing in SVI that you should be mucking around with.

If there are infected restore points, then you should *first* ensure the

system is clean.

Once that's done, disable System Restore to flush *all* restore points.

Reboot.

Reenable System Restore and create a *known clean restore point* now.

There is really nothing fun to look at in the SVI folder when things

are working properly. CCleaner has an option to remove RPs but you

would have to tell it to do so (I believe).



Do your RPs show up okay in the built in XP System Restore calendar

function?



To be on the safe side I would do this when you have the time and then

periodically:



Perform some scans for malicious software, then fix any remaining

issues:



Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware

detection programs:



Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/

SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/



They can be uninstalled later if desired.
 
Thanks Jose ,

I first thought it might be spyware/malware

and ran both of those programs with no

luck .

I do have a restore point in XP SR so I believe

I should be O.K. .

Thanks Again ,

D.

SR is a popular target for malware.



The RPs should accumulate on your calendar. XP would like to make at

least one new RP at least every 24 hours if the system is running and

idle, so you may have one every day. You may go several days without

one. You may have more than one a day depending on what is going on.



You can also make one manually just to be sure that part works.



Poor SR... - it is so misunderstood sometimes.
