Stephen, you CAN boot to DOS and remove the file from there - I had exactly
the same experience with an ME machine recently.
Only thing is, you need to remove the attributes (I think I removed all,
system, read and hidden) from the file before it'll go.

From: "Steve @ Steve's P.C.'s" Subject: [PCSOFT] Virus in "RESTORE" Folder


Greetings Listers,
        I have aquired a virus locked in a CPY file located in the RESTORE
folder. Grisoft's AVG antivirus software see's it every time the machine is
scanned and suggests putting it in the "Virus Vault". When told to proceed,
the response is that the file cannot be moved. My question is "is there a
proper procedure to move/delete this file"? Can I boot to DOS and delete the
file?
         Any and all responses will be appreciated.
