Virus infected A0095xxx.CPY in C:\Restore\Temp in Win ME

Mar 4, 2004 5:59AM PST

Following an attack , my virus checker is unable to repair or quarantine 8 files A0095xxx.CPY where xxx = 882,885,888,891,894,897,900. The directory Restore is hidden so I can't access it to delete manually. What are these files, can they be deleted and if so how.

Virus checker AVG v6 from Grisoft and Stinger

"The directory Restore is hidden so I can't access it to delete manually."

I use a boot diskette and can access it just fine. For most, turning off System Restore and then back on will empty these.

In closing, unless you "restore", the file is a non-threat and in time will vanish.
