VUndo

[hazmeister]

Managed to remove this off a system, but have noticed that the "System Volume Information" folder has grown fairly obese (1.2 GB). Is this a side effect of this malware, or is there another reason? Usually have no access to view this folder, but I was checking my drive out using Knoppix before I found VUndoFix

I cannot tell you a whole lot because none of the above directions have been followed.
I can tell you it is wise to clean System Retore files after an infection for this reason:
System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:

Yeah, thanks for that. Sorry, i know I should have done a hijack this log, but kind of broke my brother's laptop and needed to fix whilst revising for an exam
