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.
