    I've already got reply from MBAM Forum to have system restore files deleted prior thorough scanning by AntiVirus software and MBAM as well. But I just want to make sure if there are any precautionary steps necessary to be performed first before going ahead for the removal.
    Avinash:
    System restore files can be safely deleted if you are not facing any issues at the moment you are deleting those files. I usually clear up the system restore files in a week or month. These files may be infected.
    Can you advise the detailed steps on such removal since you are an expert on it. Any backup is necessary ? Many thanks !

    Alpha:
    After getting the alert did you revome the files? If yes then how come they are coming back? Either a false positive or Avira not good enough to stop it??
    I am surprised they just come back again and again after removal and I just don't know why? Any suggestion? Thanks!

    Ashwin:
    Those are system restore files. They must contain some infected files from a previous restore point.
    You must have quarantined/removed the infections after those system restore points were created.
    Those files could be harmful, you can delete them.
    check this thread at MBAM forum:
    Many thanks for the advice!
