Removing win32:CTX

On my first scan with Avast it detected win32:CTX. I did alot of research on the web and found that this infection is a false positive in relation to having Panda antivirus on the machine. They claim that Panda has a unincripted file that Avast detects as a virus. However I never had Panda AV on my machine ever. The win32:CTX was found in C\:System Volume Information\restore{4E015214-6BB0-4181-B365-456CFIDE{069}PR226. I put it in the Avast virus Chest about a week ago to inactivate it and my machine seems to work good with no known effects. My hunch is to delete it completely. After looking at the file it infected above, what would you people do in such a case?
