I've got a little problem, my Trend PC Cillin detects the following item and denies access, so no removal nor any quarantine

C:\System Volume Information\_restore{0317F837-D277-4BB4-8DBC-6B4719E2484E}\RP364\A0090166.exe

HKTL_SEARCH.G

Even AdAware does not remove this file.
If I try to clean the A0090166.exe file Windows stops working and I have to restart again.

What can I do about it?

My Trend PC Cillin and AdAware are up-to-date anyway.

Tks for yr help.

Hello and welcome to Geeks To Go

Try this:

Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove bad files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programmes changing them. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected.)

To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

(Windows XP)
1. Turn off System Restore.On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
