viruses in restore folder

Hi

I recently found out I have 5 different viruses.
I've tried anti virus guard and the free trial version of pc-cillin. Both see the viruses but don't get rid of them.
I tried pc-cillins program that runs in dos to get rid of trojans, but it didn't work either.
All of the viruses are attached to .cpy files in my
C:\ _restore\temp folder(I can't see the temp folder at all when I open C:\_restore).
As I have never used system restore and probably never will(I usually reinstall windows if I get any problems),I would like to delete these files using cyberscrub, but can't untick "hidden" on the properties tab of the _restore folder(gives me an error message).
Heres a list of the viruses I've got :

Win32/Parite, Trojan horse Downloader.Toolber.G, Trojan horse BackDoor.BackOrifice, Win32/Hantaner, Downloader.Istbar.F

My computer is working fine just now(windows millenium), any suggestions.

Cheers

Craig

Hi again

Since posting this message I have got rid of my viruses using the info I found at this link :
http://support.microsoft.com/default...NoWebContent=1
I found this link through an older post on this forum(should have searched the forum before posting eh?).

Thanks to techimo for sorting this problem.

Cheers

Craig
