How to put back "System Volume Information\_restore" folder?

[bloomlight]

We have a PC which has the virus in the "System Volume Information\_restore" folder. I found the way to access the folder and then deleted the folder.

Will it cause problem to run the computer without this folder? Is this a system folder? How can I put this folder back to the machine?

Thanks.

It will not cause a problem, it is a system restore point. to create a new restore point, go to Microsoft and follow the directions there.

For future reference, if this happens again you can delete all restore points except the most recent one from these instructions:
