quite possibley coming from a restore file, since it is protected by windows, each
time you reboot your computer, whatever is taken off is put back on by system restore,
create another restore point by disabling system restore, reboot then re-enable it.
you can also try a scan with your AntiVirus with the restore off just in case but
that is up to you...
To disable System Restore
1. Close all open programs.
2. On the Windows desktop, right-click My Computer > Properties.
3. On the Performance tab, click File System.
4. On the Troubleshooting tab, check Disable System Restore, click OK, and then
click Close.
5. Click Yes to restart.
This disables the System Restore feature and will purge the contents of
the _RESTORE folder when the system is restarted.
To run another virus scan (if you choose to)
1. make sure your Antivirus is downloaded with the latest virus definitions.
2. Make sure that your AntiVirus is set to scan all files and all drives.
Read How to configure Norton AntiVirus to scan all files for detailed instructions.
3. Scan the computer.
To re-enable System Restore
1. Close all open programs.
2. On the Windows desktop, right-click My Computer > Properties.
3. On the Performance tab, click File System.
4. On the Troubleshooting tab, uncheck Disable System Restore, click OK, and then
click Close.
5. Click Yes to restart.
