juanruiz:This page explains the
System Volume Information folder. This is a feature of the "System Restore" utility built into Windows XP.
I don't know exactly what the A0026984.dll file you referenced is, but you can shut off your System Restore feature, remove the file, then reset your system restore function. The reset will rebuild the proper restore files.
To do this, open the System Properties window:
1. Right click on "My Computer".
2. Choose "Properties".
3. Click the "System Restore" tab
4. Check the option box to turn off system restore and click OK.
5. Restart your computer.
6. At restart, do a search for the file: A0026984.dll
7. Be sure to set the search to find "all files" and/or "system files".
8. When the A0026984.dll file is found, select it and delete it.
9. Do another virus scan to insure the infected files have all been removed or quarantined.
10. Then go back to your System Properties window and turn your System Restore feature back on.
11. Restart your computer.
When the computer restarts, go to:
1. Start
2. Run
3. Type in: msconfig
4. Click OK
5. In the Microsoft Configuration Utility window, click the "System Restore" button.
6. Choose the second option: Create a "Restore Point".
7. Name your system restore point.
8. Click OK to exit the utility,
When these steps are completed, your system restore utility will create a new "Restore Point" every 24 hours and just before any new system updates are installed.
I would suggest using an online virus scan to double check that the infected files have been safely removed. One I can recommend is
pcpitstop.com Click the "Anti-Virus" link.
Another is
Symantec's Norton anti-Virus Click the "Security Check" link.
I hope this helps!
