Picked up by AVG and put in the Virus Vault. I have got two one in:

C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-507921405-1123561945-682003330-1003\Dc1\msnmgr.exe

and one in:

C:\SystemVolumeInformation\_restore{3737CEOA-16B2-4DAA-A8D8-CE7DF41C9A2B}\RP208\A0075069.exe

They were picked up when my son went to a dodgy link on Messenger (you are in this picture). I have uninstalled messenger and deleted the MSN Messenger folder (after running AVG).

What do I need to do to safely remove these from my PC???

According to AVG they are not healable.

If I disable system restore will I lose all my restore points?

I haven't tried simply deleting them yet in case that causes me other problems?

When you say delete recycler do you mean empty the recycle bin? Only I did that after running AVG and it is currently empty (though I didn't do it in safe mode).

Thanks. Done as suggested and both Trojans have gone.
