I ran Norton recently and discovered that I am infected with the
dowloader.trojan virus. I followed the procedures to rid myself of this
virus, however the virus was located in an archive folder in my "_Restore"
directory. This was a problem for me, because the directions Norton gave to
get rid of the virus did not apply to a file in this directory (there was no
reference to a registry item). I am running Windows XP. Anything anyone
can to do help me get rid of this trojan would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
I have read elsewhere that you should first turn off system restore, then clean and check for viruses, then turn system restore turned back on

That was part of the procedure that I followed. My point was that the virus
was found in a file in a _Restore folder not in a file in my registry
