AVG finds Trojan Horse Dropper.Generic.DZD

Hello, I have AVG free, (but do not have the option of 'healing' the virus) I attempted to move a virus it discovered, a trojan horse called Dropper.Generic.DZD, to the AVG quarantine vault, It told me that the "requested action is not available for this object. Access to the file has been denied. I then checked info on it but could not find it in thier virus encyclopidia...It was detected while a was not at home, AVG explains my computer at some point tried to open the file:

C:\System Volume Information\_restore{9E60382B-316D-4310-AF10-975781FAD3E2}\RP418\A0268648.exe

I just got home and checked my computer to find the virus dedtected window, dont know how long it has been on my computer, though I did click on a few myspace links posted in bulitens from my freinds, it gave me pop-up windows galore, I suspect that freind's account has been hacked, thinking that the popups may have given me somthing, I scanned my computer right after with AVG and it turned up nothing, that was last night. Today I found the Virus Detected window. What can I do to get rid of this virus? and how will it hurt my computer in the meantime?

Assistance Appreciated,

Gantunie

If you disable - then re-enable System Restore - it should flush it out
