    hidden folders

    My Ad Aware SE has found about 100 files of spyware adware and worms in a file thats called something like C:\\_Restore or something like that. all the files end with a weird name like A0111923 and go in sequence (im guessing the names). the problem i have is that they are unremovable by ad aware, and invisible to other spyware removers. The folder is located win WINDOWS but its hidden from what i know, and i cant find it on search/explore. so how would i go about loacting this folder and deleting the files inside.

    i dont know if this has anything to do with anything, but i remember Dave talking about how to get to hidden folders by creating a .BAT file or something. i dont know, im not too good with computers.

    please help.

    the whole A01ect. makes it look like a huge hard drive catalogue
    it might be a back up of your hard drive or a hacker is using your comp to store files or stage attacks

    First disable system restor on your computer then you can remove.
    Also is an option somewhere to delete restore points in system restore app.
    good luck
