SYSTEM RESTORE - Viruses

[nzscout]

Questioned - Every morning one of our laptop users seems to accumulate viruses from the past day. Even though we have permanently deleted them the previous day. It seems that a system restore is happening every morning as a new Restore folder is created in the System volume, and these are were the viruses are being found. Why is this folder being created every morning? Can I stop this from happening? I have check the system restore settings and there is no time option avail.
