You will then need to restart your computer and and go into Safe Mode by holding the F8 key down (kind of at the beginning of bootup). When you're at the Desktop screen go to Start/ Search/ For Files and Folders and type up the NAME OF THE FILE & EXT (not PSW.Briss.C) but the actual name of the file, which would have shown up on your Anti-Virus software. You can delete this file from here, also make sure to empty your Recycle Bin.
I have had 4 Trojan horses on my C drive and kinda figured out the above method a week ago. I deleted the Temp file (as these keep putting the same files back into your system) from the Restore folder after unchecking the hidden files boxes, then went to Safe Mode to delete what virus files that were still there. My computer is now absolutely FREE of these pests!
I also have AVG 6.0 (the free one) & also the Ad-aware 6 and I use them every day as my kids love to play games from the internet.
Open Control Panel Tools Folder Options View Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" OK Start Search Files and Folders Enter all or part of Trojan file. Search Right click file when found Delete Empty Recycle Bin.

"If I delete the system volume information folder then will it have any effect on my computer?"
dd639a167834ec65099454b5a105 in system volume information
yes you can delete the system volume info folder but they are very important in waorking of OS(operating system) so i advise you not to delete it
you can get access to the system volume information folder. follow the steps on this site -
The System Volume Information folder is where system restore information is held. I first came across it in Windows ME, it is found in all flavours of Windows XP and Windows Vista. It is a very underated/inderused Windows tool, I have found it to be a life saver many times, I create restore points before and after installing new drivers or software. I manually configure System Restore depending on the number and size of the hard drives on the system. Normally I will turn off System restore for non System Drives, Reserving 12% of a 250 Gig Data Drive is a lot of wasted space.

System restore cannot recover delete files.
Yeah but you will not be able to listen to anything
Assuming you mean a subdirectory under 'C:\System Volume Information' and your anti-virus application has detected but cannot fix the problem :- select System Restore tab in System Properties (WinKey+Pause) and check the box marked 'Turn off System Restore on all drives', confirm, close System Properties and reboot. This will clear all files in 'C:\System Volume Information' and therefore the MusicSearch.AM problem. 'C:\System Volume Information' is not just a hidden folder, it's also system protected and as such, anti-virus software cannot write to any file within and therefore cannot delete or quarantine any infected file detected. To turn on System Restore, just reverse the above procedure. Hope this helps, Canis.
You shouldn't because your computer won't run without it.
It's not a good idea, if you need the space, change the amount that system restore uses, and the amount that windows uses for temporary internet files and the recycling bin uses first. I would NOT recommend deleting system volume info, it's hidden for a reason.
Turn off System Restore and reboot the system.
Hi, I've been patrolling around trying to fix this, i have the same problem. Here's something i found at a different site, will try to give all credit where credit is due... " If you have Windows XP you'll have to manually delete the infected files found in the c:\System Volume Information\_Restore folder, they are part of the Win Xp backup (those backup files were created when the system was infected).The System Volume Information folder is a hidden, system folder that the System Restore tool uses to store its information and restore points. There is a System Volume Information folder on every partition on your computer. You might need to gain access to this folder for troubleshooting purposes.. In order to do that please follow the steps: 1. Right click the My Computer icon on the Desktop and click on Properties. 2. Click on the System Restore tab. 3. Put a check mark next to 'Turn off System Restore on All Drives'. 4. Click the 'OK' button.5. You will be prompted to restart the computer. Click Yes. If you have Windows Me please consult this link in order to see how to delete the files from the restore folder:http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q263455 Marius Marcu BullGuard Technical Support Engineer " and i'd like to thank marius marcu for his contribution, this is not my work at all.
