I gather the only way they CAN be accessed is by first switching System Restore off, but that this deletes all the restore points. It goes on to say that these data stores are protected, and that anti-virus software can't access them.

'When you run an antivirus program, you may receive a report that indicates that one or more files in the _Restore\Temp or the _Restore\Archive folders contain a virus or are infected with a virus.' So I've no idea where it's storing the info.Īn article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, albeit referring to ME rather than XP, says: I can't find a folder named _restore now, and yet System Restore does show my restore point as being available. Yes - System Restore is enabled: it always has been. The mouse pointer switched to 'busy', and the outline of the window appeared, but nothing more.

While the 'Warning' alert was still waiting for a response I located the folder (a hidden one, named '_restore') but was unable to open it. I'm new to the forum and I think I think I've posted this in the wrong place.)Īvast has always worked beautifully, and I can't understand what happened on this occasion.
