Reply: (edit)It's doing this in case there is a copy in the system restore points as you cant remove it from there only delete them. So try it another way
go to start > Control Panel > System (in Classic View)> System Restore Tab, place a tick in the, turn off system restore and click apply & ok then reboot your system this will delete your system restore points and any copy of the trojan, follow the above and untick the box apply & ok Then I sugest doing another virus scan
If any advice helps, please post back as it might help others.
