Want this question answered?
The folder "System Volume Information" is a hidden system folder located in the root of the drive and is used by windows to hold system restore points. C:\System Volume Information\_ Restore folder
C:/System Volume Information.
Disable your system restore, then reboot your comp, then after it boots back up, enable your system restore again. That will get rid of all of those stored files and settings in the System Volume Info folder..
You can remove any virus from the System Volume Information (wich is a part OS your System Restore function) by disabling it and then re-enabling it again.Further explanation Good luck! Jahewi :-)
c:\System Volume Information is a special folder used by Windows. It is not a virus. In an NTFS system, the permissions are set so that no one, not even an administrator, can access it - This is because it contains critical things that no one but the operating system should touch.
Boot volume
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.

Basically the system volume is required to start up, and the boot volume contains the OS. From http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314470: The system volume refers to the disk volume that contains the hardware-specific files that are needed to start Windows, such as Ntldr, Boot.ini, and Ntdetect.com. On computers that are running the Intel x86 line of CPU processors and later versions, the system volume must be a primary volume that is marked as active. This requirement can be fulfilled on any drive on the computer that the system BIOS searches when the operating system starts. The system volume can be the same volume as the boot volume. However, this configuration is not required. The boot volume refers to the disk volume that contains the Windows operating system files and the supporting files. By default, the Windows operating system files are in the WINDOWS folder, and the supporting files are in the WINDOWS\System32 folder. The boot volume can be the same volume as the system volume. However, this configuration is not required. There is only one system volume. However, there is one boot volume for each operating system in a multiboot system."
