PWS.Hooker.Trojan in CAB file

I have installed Norton Anti Virus and it detected a virus (pws.hooker.trojan) in a CAB file in what looks like an archive I have made.

It says it cant quarantine, repair or remove this file -
The exact message I get is :

Source: A0065004.CPY
Description: The compressed file A0065004.CPY within G:\_RESTORE\ARCHIVE\FS3.CAB is infected with the PWS.Hooker.Trojan virus.


Any suggestions - I cant find the CAB file - it mus be in some system directory that I cant access..

THANKS

Turn off System restore on the G Drive and then empty the G:\System Volume Information folder. See if that works for you. Be sure to only allow System Restore to monitor the active drive.
