I need some help removing a virus. I am getting a virus alert message from AVG that says:
Virus
Trojan horse Downloader.Toolber.D
is found in fileC:\System Volume Information\_restore{CEBA2E66-1B58-4BA7-915F-2F331988A65D}\RP72\A0017654.exe
To remove please run AVG for windows
When I run AVG it detects nothing. When I search for the directory even at the level of C:\System Volume Information it shows nothing. I'm baffled by this.
My hijack this log file shows the following and I'm not sure what to delete and\or if any of this pertains to the virus. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

You initial location of where the virus file was found would indicate it is in "system restore:. These filees cannot be cleaned/repaired by antivirus software. You have to manually turn it off by right clicking My Computer>Properties>System Restore-turn it off. Run your AV scan and if it is clean, go back and turn on "system restore". I set the slider to 2% if you want to continue to use "system restore", instead of the default 10% to save disk space.
