Villans in Millenium System Restore

I turn off system restore and AVG does not scan it. Turn restore back on and it finds the same trojans over and over. I thought that the contents of the system restore were deleted when you turned it off and rebooted. Now my question is whether you can delete the contents of that folder. If so, what is the name and location of that folder.
thanks,
alan

Yes the contents of the folder should be deleted when you disable it and reboot

If they're not, you can safely delete them yourself

The folder is C:\_Restore

jim,
i could not delete the contents of the c:_restore folder.
wouldn't let me delete.
is there some other secret to this?
i did some more reading and found that you cannot delete the contents of the restore folder in me, only turn off and reboot and turn back on.
oh well.
thanks
