Would it do any harm to disable system restore, reboot and inable again? I have 23 Trojans in Restore\temp. Mcafee cant del or clean them.I tried a Troj cleaner program, it couldn,t clean the 23 Trojas either. I shifted the space back as far as possible in System restore, the Troj are still there. If i disable system restore folder, may it empty all restore folder? Thanks for help Buddy WinME

That is the correct way to clean a virus from the _Restore folder. You lose all the old restore points, but it can't be helped. You will here the hard drive activity almost immediately after rebooting when you disable it as the old restore points are purged. When the restore folder is empty, run a virus scan just to make sure the system is clean, then you can re-enable System Restore again and it will start setting new points right away.
