Worm virus in System Volume Information-cannot erase

[Brian]

After running the "all in one" from System Suite, I have
84 removable viruses in file C:\System Volume
Information\_restore... One is BKDR_SDBOT.14176 and the
other 83 are WORM_SDDROP.C It says they are removable
but I cannot get rid of them

Open MY COMPUTER and right-click on your drive. Then select
Properties > Disk Cleanup > More Options > System Restore (Clean Up).

These are your System Restore check point files. Open Control Panel/System
icon/System restore tab. Select the drive where the virus files are located
and click the Settings button. Click the check box to turn system restore
off on this drive, click OK and the files in the System Volume Information
folder will be immediately deleted.

Go back to the same location and turn System Restore back on for that drive.
Go to Start/All Programs/Accessories/System tools/System restore and create
a new check point for the drive.
