Virus in System Restore

I need advice, please. After my daughter's weekly virus scan with NAV, she got the message that NAV had found "backdoor.sdbot" in system volume information\_restore{.....(various numbers)} NAV said it could not clean it, but did quarantine it. I went ahead and deleted the file from quarantine. Should I now turn off system restore and delete all the back-up points or just leave it alone? As far as I know she did not have any symptoms of a virus, although she did get a variant of bestfriends.scr a few days ago. I was able to take care of that for her, after some of you had been so very helpful in taking care of that for me last week.
Thanks in advance.

    turn off system restore then reboot then turn it back on

    after that run another scan

    the restore point is not usable unless you want to be infected

    u can manually delete the virus next time but its a doosee

    u have to turn off simple file sharing, then give urself admin rights to the folder and subfolders, then u can find and delete the specific file
