You can remove any virus from System Volume Information, by shutting down System Restore, restarting your computer and then start System Restore Again. When you shutdown System Restore, all Restore Points are deleted (including the virus(ses)). When you restart System Restore, it automaticly makes a new (and clean) Restore-point.

To remove the System Volume Information virus in Windows 7, first ensure that your system is set to show hidden files and protected operating system files. Then, use a reputable antivirus or anti-malware program to perform a thorough scan and remove any detected threats. If the virus persists, you can manually delete the contents of the "System Volume Information" folder by taking ownership of the folder and then deleting it, but be cautious as this may affect system restore points. Finally, consider disabling system restore temporarily, then re-enabling it to create a clean restore point.
No, it is not safe to remove the System Volume Information folder from the D drive or any other drive. This folder contains critical system restore points and information necessary for system recovery and backup processes. Deleting it can lead to loss of restore points and may cause issues with system stability and recovery options. If you're looking to free up space or manage system resources, consider other methods instead.

To remove viruses from the "System Volume Information" folder, you should first ensure that your system is protected by an up-to-date antivirus program.

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.
