Question over Meaning of Warnings In Virusscan Results

[Westly32]

I've have Avira AntiVir Personal, and after a scan-with no viruses detected, there were 2 warnings posted in the scan results. Here's a copy and paste..

I was wondering what those 2 files are that couldn't be opened?

[Chewy]

that's just hibernate and swap file, they are locked for system use when needed

My antivirus found it in C:\System Volume Information\_restore{106CF321-99A3-4E3A-9103-1BD027606A99}\RP257\. And it said the file name is A0021728.exe.

do you have an infected restore point or avira just can't scan them?

There are no virus detected posted after the scan. It just lists those items as couldn't be opened or scanned. Here's the full report.
