Help-Swen.A Virus

[MiltWV]

My AVG 6.0 program ran this morning and said I had a file with the Swen.A virus located in C:\_RESTORE\TEMP\A0067540.CPY I used explorer to find the _RESTORE folder, but the subfolder \TEMP was not visable. I then did a search for the file and found it. I tried to delete it but I get a warning that access is denied. I would really like to get this off of my system. I tried Nortons but it did not detect the file. I have been receiving 4 or 5 emails a day for over a week infected with the Swen.A virus. Each time, AVG finds them and I delete them immediately. I don't know if AVG put this file in that temp folder or not. I tried using the dos prompt to delete the file and that did not work either.

I am running Win. ME if that makes a difference.

Thanks RB. I was able to turn off system restore then go to the folder and delete the file. The worm had not been run but had been renamed by AVG and put in that hidden Temp folder. Because system restore was on, was the reason I was not able to delete the file.
