XP system volume information, cannot delete restore points
AVG resident shield keeps popping up with possible infection in the files within system volume information folder. I turned off system restore and restarted. My understanding is that this will delete the restore points. I then turned system restore back on and created a new restore point. The problem persists with possible infection popups. I was going to manually delete the files but the folder is locked.

It was most likely a false posative, but it needed to be removed. I ended up going in to the advanced settings of system restore and clicking the option to delete all but the most recient restore point. This solved the problem.
Select C: Drive
Once it has scanned your files select the "More Options" tab.
On this tab you should find a section for System Restore.
If you press the Clean Up button for that section, Windows deletes all restore points except for the most recent one.
