Virus infected files sallie00 12/26/05
    When virus infected files is in System Storage can they be deleted?

    Aren't they eventually deleted, because I thought system restore only kept track of so many restore points?

    Thanks in advance.

      Thanks for the info.

      How can I tell the files are in System Restore?

      I did a search for the files in search and nothing came up.

      How can I delete them in System Restore?

      Thanks in advance.

      Your System Restore image is a SINGLE file that contains other files similar to a ZIP file. So you can't search for the individual infected file. If you want to delete Restore points you do that from the System Restore function.
