• How to remove an infected file in the folder SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION on T43?

  Respected Sir/Madam,

  Recently, I have bee affected by a series of blue screen errors. Norton AntiVirus and other well-known software just crash. Update of virus definitions files are reported as being corrupted. Fortunately, I used this SPYWARE DOCTOR which founf a file infected by HACKIT name. ROOTKIT in the SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION folder, which is hidden from the usual interface of WINXP.

  Please suggest some methods on how to DELETE the infected on this hidden folder?

  IF I MAKE THE HIDDEN VISIBLE THROUGH THE IBM R & R PARTITION, IT WILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE DATA ON THE DRIVE? ALSO, AFTER YOU DELETE THE INFECTED FILE BY USING THIS METHOD, IF I SWITCH IT BACK TO HIDDEN, WILL BE IS TO HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE CURRENT HARD DISK CONTENT?

  pleas suggest alternative methods to get rid of this infection.

  Thank you!

  SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION is your Restore.As system an alternative to do a factory restore, try flushing the system restore, then you can start fresh. This procedure will not delete your saved data and apps like restoration to the State of the plant would be.

  In order to remove the XP System Restore Points:
  (On XP, you must be logged in as an administrator to do.)
  Go to start > run and type msconfig and press ENTER.
  When opens in msconfig, click Launch System Restore.
  On the next page, click System Restore settings on the left.
  Check the box enable the system restore.

  Reset. Reassemble and turn on system restore. A new Restore Point is created.

  So, if you still have problems, it would mean that you have active running malware, or you have run at the same time a scanner that was falsely reported as this file, please come back. Often our malware removal tools are captured by General scanners as "Hacktools.

• HP steam: strange files in "C:\system volume information.

  I have re-installed Windows 8.1 on my HP net book successfully.

  I later discovered several large files in "C:\system volume information" with names that start with "{" and end by '} '. Are these relics of my re - install and can they be deleted safely?

  I don't know if they were present before the re-installation.

  Hello

  I would not delete them because they retain information for me to restore. If TOO big and TOO old, you can remove

  rhl_yadav,

  It is IMPORTANT that you do not delete these files. They are very important to the operating system.

  Instead, you can hide:

  • Open the Options folder by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.
  • Click the view tab.
  • Under Advanced settings, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" and "Hide protected operating system files ' are not checked, and then click OK.

• Cannot delete the System Volume Information trash

  I am running Windows xp on a Dell computer and I recently removed the System Volume Information folder on an external hard drive after the deactivation of the restoration of the system for this drive.  I don't remember how it happened, but the said folder ended up in the trash.  Now every time that I try to empty the trash, I get an error message indicating that access to the file is denied and it cannot be deleted.  I can see the folder in the trash, but I can restore it or delete it.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Thanks for your reply. I tried both of your suggestions, but unfortunately none of them allowed me to remove the stubborn system folder.  I had to start the computer in Mode safe, gives me full control over the folder to the trash (even though I am the administrator) and then finally was able to remove it. For some reason any Security tab does not appear when you talk about the Properties dialog box, unless you are using safe mode.

• How can you "Invisible", for example "System Volume Information", or "Content.IE5", files be read?

  I have entered in Options files and "Show the hidden files and folders", the value erased "Hide protected operating system files" (and confirmed the potential danger in the pop - up window by changing the files of this type). The problem is, all the programs and questionable scripts see have no problem modifying files that are located in these folders, or using them as a repository for their own excrement.

  I suspect that, because even the unsophisticated malware infections can bypass this 'protection', it is not a block of real access to NTFS.  It's just an arbitrary thing to prevent "the user", which certainly is not always the best judgment. (They buy and place important information about a system designed to be as open to the 'hacking' than that of Windows.)

  Utilities offline, as in recovery, will be able to view them?

  The System Volume Information folder is where system restore points are saved.  As a general rule, you can erase it by disabling the function system restore, reboot, then turn it back on again.
  (Right click on 'My Computer'-> properties-> tab "System Restore").

  If you absolutely have to dwell there, see the following article:

  but do not forget that the locker room apply here (i.e. watch all you want, but do not touch anything).

• Windows error message "cannot find the file K:\$MFT or K:\System Volume Information.

  Original title: Windows Error Message.  Cannot locate the file K:\$MFT

  Periodically, I get an error message stating that Windows cannot locate the file K:\$MFT or K:\System Volume Information.   In this case my computer loses contact with K (my backup drive).  The only way I can get the command back up and running is to shut it down, restart windows and then reconnect the drive.  I have absolutely no idea where, why, or what this message is not irritating and a nuisance.  How can I stop this?

  My problem is back and I guess that I does not after all.  It was suggested that more info on my system could help find answers.  I am running Windows XP. SP3.  My HD is 500 GB.  Intel Core 2 CPU.  6600 GHZ, 3 GB of Ram.

  In addition the cannot locate the message file, it sometimes indicates that a "delayed write failed" and I should save the K:\$MFT file also.

  As far as I can tell, I have solved my problem.  Windows 'Restore' was trying to save my disk backup for future use, and I think it's whence came the message.  I changed the settings to restore now ignores my backup disk and the problem has not happened since.  I hope it's the end of it.

• Formatting the USB in Windows XP disk, create a folder "system volume information" How can I overcome this problem

  Hello team, I tried to format my 2 GB to Format NTFS USB in WINDOWS XP. When I format the drive, it has been formatted sucssfully, but in the formatted disk, a folder is created named as 'System Volume Information '. I tried to remove my USB drive safley but it show and error as "the generic Volume is used in another program... '. ».  Why this happens, the 'System Volume Information' folder is a virus? How can I fix this problem... reply me as soon as possible... Thank you all...

  Hello

  It does seem like a virus. Since you're a NTFS format, it should be a system folder. System folder is present on NTFS volumes and is used for system restore points.

  If you want to remove, you may need to format the drive to FAT32.

• Can I remove random photos in the system volume information?

  I understand very well this file.  I rarely restore, but sometimes I do.  The problem is that some files, aka viruses that have been removed, take place that I prefer to use for something else, aka my plans f #.  Can I delete random files in this folder?  I understand that I can remove the control panel restore point, but I want only to remove a specific file.  In fact, I don't know if this file is the file that I want to delete because of all the file names.  I made fair carsick enter this folder.  I want to just delete large files.  So the question is simply: is there something important it?

  System Restore uses log files to keep track of things, if you try to restore a point and System Restore detects that which is missing files or that it has been tampered with the restore point will fail.  Bert Kinney, one of the greatest experts on the restoration of the system, explains that the individual restore points can not be removed because... "Each restore points is chained (or related) as well as the previous restore points." When you choose to restore a system all him previous restore point are required to perform a restore, so if one is missing the chain will be broken and cause all the restore points are corrupt. At this point, all restore points will have to correct the corruption. So the best advice is DON'T touch the content of the System Volume Information folder. " http://bertk.mvps.org/html/Tips.html#8

  If you removed a virus if the deletion was successful and the system now works fine the best thing to do is to purge ALL restore points after having removed the virus successfully.

  You're overthinking this and you're too attached to restore points, if the computer is running well at the moment and if it has been so for a week or two then you can get rid of and then restore points create a new.  Set maximum disk usage that is suitable for the points of restore and you will recover some of your disk space for another use.

  In his blog Raymond says that 'folder contains casual interference could cause problems with the correct operation of the information system.  It could, but not necessarily cause problems.  For all its value, you can disable the system restore and other services that might use the IVR (indexing, Volume Shadow Copy & Distributed Link Tracking Service) (services that you might not use anyway) and then delete the entire folder, Windows simply creates a new brilliant when you restart!  Then when you restart the system restore or other services that use the folder they will just repopulate the record with their files.  People who make use of indexing service will generally not want to clear the folder because it takes a lot of "disk churning" to build a large catalog of indexation.

• System Volume Information\Tracking.log

  When you perform a Virus and spyware scan, the scan hangs when scanning gets to "C:\SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION\TRACKING. JOURNAL ". I tried BitDefender and IOLO System Mechanic Pro, and both programs also seem to stop at the same point. How can I fix without losing the information I saved. I am doing genealogy on this computer.

  Looks like you may have a drive corruption in this area of the disc.  In any case, it is a good idea to perform a complete control of the disk regularly to keep it in good condition. Be warned, however, that if there is corruption, chkdsk tries to fix it and it is not always successful - sometimes erase the data contained in the good areas of the disk.  It doesn't happen often, but to cover your behind, you should back up important data before you run a disk check.  Also, be aware that it can sometimes last for hours and can not run Windows while it checks the boot volume (what he does after a reboot), plan to make the audit during the night or when you don't need your computer for awhile.
