My Virus checker has alerted me to an infected folder which it cannot access
nor can I. This is the file on my external backup hard drive.
F:\System Volume
Information\_restore{D46643AE-DBFO-48A5-A582_23A306Ba4CF8}\RP1524\A0277711.EXE
Can anyone tell me how to get access to this file or how to remove it or the
virus?

This is a System Restore point. There isn't any reason for System
Restore to be monitoring your external hard drive anyway. Go to Control
Panel>System>System Restore and turn off System Restore monitoring on
the external drive. Reboot and that folder will be gone.

I'll second Malke, system restore does nothing for you on a non system
drive, turn it off for that drive.

Thank you Malke that did the trick. It worked just as you said it would.
