You can turn off system restore. That will delete ALL of your restore points, then turn it back on to start making new ones...but keep in mind that if you do this, you won't be able to restore to earlier than the newest restore point (today in that case).

System Restore option in Windows Me/XP Users of Windows Me and Windows XP should temporarily turn off System Restore. Windows Me/XP uses this feature, which is enabled by default, to restore the files on your computer in case they become damaged. If a virus, worm, or Trojan infects a computer, System Restore may back up the virus, worm, or Trojan on the computer. Windows prevents outside programs, including antivirus programs, from modifying System Restore. Therefore, antivirus programs or tools cannot remove threats in the System Restore folder. As a result, System Restore has the potential of restoring an infected file onto your computer, even after you have cleaned the infected files from all the other locations. Also, a virus scan may detect a threat in the System Restore folder even though you have removed the threat. Hope this information helps anyone looking for this fix.

How do you remove the Trojan horse downloader. agent. AS?
Search for the virus with an antivirus program such as AVG. Once I ran the antivirus, I discovered that the path to the virus led to a file named polmx2.exe. Since this particular file was not a system file, I knew that it was okay to just delete it. Make sure you turn off system restore so the trogan horse will not be backed up in system restore. After the virus is deleted and no more are detected, be sure to turn system restore back on.
