Default OT: viruses

i seem to be having some trouble with a virus. it's called the franriv.worm, i'm using mcafee and when it gets into the .CPY files in the \_RESTORE\TEMP directory, it's impossible to clean, delete or quarentine. i've even tried opening them up with wordpad and deleting the contents, but it comes up with an access violation. any suggestions?

and \TEMP is a hidden directory and won't show itself, even though my settings are to show hidden files and folders. which \_RESTORE is to, and it shows up fine. so, i can't manually add them to quarentine and then delete them, since that has proven possible with other stubbern files.
