_RESTORE\TEMP replicating files

I found 34,847 A010****.CPY files in the RESTORE\TEMP directory? I was told this was a virus. I booted from a boot disk. I did a "deltree c:\_restore" and got rid of the .CPY files. I booted normally and then ran an online virus scan(PANDA), which said it found and disinfected 6 more files than my Norton antivirus did. I then re-enabled the RESTORE feature and rebooted. As soon as the system came up it started to generate those A010****.CPY files again. About 11 of them for each minute until the RESTORE si full. I know I can disable system restore, but I have used it in the past to restore the system and would like to have it available, but the A010****.CPY files fill up the available space for the restore. Does anyone have any suggestions beyond what I have done to try to get rid of this virus?
