I got a trojan alert called Exploit-ANIfile.c.
McAfee says to:
Disable the System Restore Utility (Windows XP Users)
Right click the My Computer icon on the Desktop and click on Properties. Click on the System Restore tab.
But I cant seem to get to the System restore Tab:P
Also is this a bad thing? haha sorry i'm an idiot.

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.
