2. Reboot
3. Scan again

This is what Warlock was referring to, but it doesn't list the bug you describe under that name. However, a little googling turned up
this which identifies it as a
TROJAN, not a virus. Believe it or not, not everything that infects your PC is a virus....
I suggest you nab
Hijack This! and post the log.

Shhh its a secret... an administrator can change the permissions on the system restore folder.
