Haven't seen any threat notices yet. So I'm assuming yes.

Sorry to double post. After not rebooting for about 2 days, I rebooted and it popped up again, but this time it's in my system volume thing, "C:\System Volume Information\_restore{BUNCH OF NUMBERS}\RP265\"

Thats your System Restore backup.  Simply disable system restore, Reboot, and re-enable it and you should be fine.

Sean, this tells me you haven't disabled sysrestore before you ran the virusscan (in safemode i hope) as it would have wiped all the restore points.

Remember when doing an AV scan:
1. Update virusdefinitions
2. Disable sysrestore
3. Boot into safemode and perform the scan there
This is the only way to make sure the AV program can get rid of it completely (providing it already knows this virus ofcourse).

I advice you to disable it now, boot into safemode and do another AV scan. You can turn on sysrestore again afterwards.
