SlickVic78 is an unknown quantity at this point
war59312 should be right... The infected file was captured within a snapshot most likely from System Restore... In order for you to removed the virus, you need to turn off System Restore for that drive (D: in your case), then restart the computer. Next turn back on System Restore and then run another virus scan on your system to see if it comes back up. The _Restore is associated with your System Restore snapshots.

James55, you are saying that after turning off System Restore on your D: drive, and then rebooting the system did not remove all of you past Restore Points? that is very interesting... If that is the case, then I would say to do what DoG suggested which is to continue to have System Restore off for your D: drive and then going in and manually remove the Restore Point directory that contains the virus, which is RP56. Once that is done, you should be able to turn back on System Restore for your D: drive.
