deleting trojan infected system files in Win ME

Comment:
My system got infected by some trojan viruses and some of them have infected system restore (.cpy) files in the _RESTORE\TEMP folder. I have tried cleaning/deleting these files thru Norton AV with no luck. I tried deleting the files manually but ME does not allow deleting system files because of "system file protection". Is there anyway you know i could have my problem fixed?

right click on my computer. go to properties. go to the perfomance tab. click file system. go to the troubleshooting tab. put a check in 'disable system restore' click all of the ok's until it tells you to reboot. reboot.
to reenable system restore do the above, but put the check back in.
