Windows ME - " Trojan horse Downloader.Rahitor.A" keeps appearing on system file "C:-_RESTORE\TEMP\A0123833.CPY", although numbers listed in this reference alter slightly in an escalating manner each appearance.
Virus program announces it cannot heal or remove,
Trendmicro program does not recognize it at all,

Using search option, file is located and successfully deleted after a couple of tries.

10 days later, approximately, it reappears with a slightly different numerical sequence.

After the third appearance, access to all functions were prohibited until system restore function used to backdate the system at which time virus detection was nil and the file itself disappeared.

What is happening? Is it lurking undetected in the system?
