I run AVG antivirus and every so often I get a message onscreen saying
Virus Detected
Trojan horse Backdoor.Checkesp.A
is found in file
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{30957024-BB32-4F33-9304-8EFFFA42FBAB}\RP363\A0066769.exe
but when I run my antivirus scan it reports no virus found.
I have found the detail above (apart from RP363\A0066769.exe) in the Registry under
HKEY_LOCAL\System|ControlSet1\Control\Backup Restore\FileNotToBackup\SystemRestore
but I do not know if I should delete this key.
Other than the popup message I don't seem to have any other problems but would appreciate help in what to do

This location is in the System Restore archive. Antivirus programs cannot normally clean any files there. Instead the archive must be purged by turning System Restore off and then on again. This completely deletes all current restore points and starts fresh.

Thanks. I'll give it a try
