How to remove an infection from the System Volume Information folder:
Files in the
System volume information folder are source files for the
System Restore function, which is available in Windows operating systems. This function enables the user to restore a previous system configuration by using a previously-created backup. This backup may contain files that were infected. Because this folder is protected by the operating system, it is necessary to follow these steps to delete these files.
