Hi
Thanks for the quick reply.
I should have given you a bit more info in my post, I have run every piece of spyware known to man, both in normal and safe mode, and have cleaned all kinds of crap off my computer. When I do the housecall, as well as the windows trojan scanner you recommended, they come up clean, but tell me couldn't scan system volume information, access is denied. I think this is why I originally became suspicious about that file. I have also run hijack this and posted it on spyware forums, which have fixed a couple of things. I have startup inspector for windows, which is also a good way to check your startup processes, and it is all ok.
Ultimately, I have still got the two problems, a. the file which cannot be seen by the scanners because access is denied, and b. I can't enable system restore at the moment, so can't create a system restore point manually. While system restore is disabled, this file is not active anyway, but I would rather have my system restore on. As long as that file is on my computer though, I don't think I will be able to create a restore point, as I tried to do it before with no success.
My questions are still, is there anyway of accessing system volume information, or any other way of enable system restore?
Sorry to be a pain
