Default AV finds trojan in C:\System Volume Information


On two occasions, my AntiVirus has found some trojans in C:\System Volume Information...i allow it to delete the infected files since it can't repair them...my question is:

What is system volume information?? is it OK to let the AV delete these files?

The log is as under...

deleted: Trojan program Backdoor.Win32.Rbot.bwn File: C:\System Volume Information\_restore{592E117C-5274-4000-9367-749921843CE3}\RP271\A0129514.exe

Its the folder, which contains "System Restore" files. So I think u shouldnt worry about it.

I'll also suggest u to disable "System Restore" and then delete this folder and then enable it again, if u use "System Restore".
