Non-deletable virus detected within a Restore Volume??

CSystem Volume Information\_restore{E68BB404-CB4C-446B-99D3-DCCE45C9DFAE}\RP213\A0024993.exe

Detected within a restore volume. The infected file cannot be Cleaned. You should delete the file and replace it with a clean copy. Your data will not be affected.

Macafee says Virus Name AdClicker-0

a. Wasn't aware that spyware was now being declared to be viruses and/or detected by the major antiviral programs.

b. Even if a. is correct I guess that Adaware and Spybot and CWshredder are still de rigeur for use.

c. It won't clean and it won't delete so does Anybody know how to delete "restore" volumes? Apparently "System Volume Information is inaccesible via Win XP Explorer.

d. I guess the Restore points that you create and the checkpoints that the system creates are both auto-deleted with time??
