Urgent - Backdoor.Trojan Removal

Comment:
I recently discovered that my computer has several files infected with "Backdoor.Trojan". The problem is, the files that are infected are ".A0109355.CPY" files located in C:\_RESTORE\TEMP\ and I cannot delete or quarantine the files no matter what. I already attempted to delete them with Norton Anti-Virus in Safe Mode, but the computer doesn't allow them to. Please help. I'm getting desperate.
To disable System Restore: Follow the steps that apply to your operating system:
Windows Me:
1. Close all open programs. 2. Right-click My Computer on the Windows desktop, and then click Properties. 3. Click the Performance tab. 4. Click File System. 5. Click the Troubleshooting tab. 6. Check Disable System Restore, click OK, and then click Close. 7. Click Yes to restart. This disables the System Restore feature and will purge the contents of the _RESTORE folder when the system is restarted. 8. Run LiveUpdate and download the latest virus definitions. 9. Make sure that NAV is set to scan all files and all drives, and then scan the computer. 10. After cleaning the infected files, repeat steps 1 through 7, except in step 6, uncheck Disable System Restore.
