Found Trojan-Spy.Win32.Agent.bdrd files -- frustrated with ZA Security Suite

I am running a paid and fully functional multi-P.C. ZoneAlarm Security Suite license.
(version 9.1.008, anti-virus/spyware engine version 8.0.2.42)

I have recently had a ZA scan pick Trojan-Spy.Win32.Agent.bdrd
in several locations on my C: drive. ZA says it has put the file in
quarantine. Unfortunately, every time I reboot my P.C., the damn
thing returns and within a short time ZA says it found it again.
I can't delete what is in quarantine. I cannot select or delete the items.

Not trusting ZA, I installed another reputable malware application.
It found Trojan entries in my registry that ZA missed. It found them
and deleted them.

After a reboot, I did another scan with ZA which came up clean.
Then WHAMO, about an hour later the Trojan alert was back, many of them:

C:\System Volume Information\_restore{7F7BE6F8-OD6A-488B-ABDC-75393719A72D}\RP525\A0056950.exe
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{7F7BE6F8-OD6A-488B-ABDC-75393719A72D}\RP525\A0056951.exe
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{7F7BE6F8-OD6A-488B-ABDC-75393719A72D}\RP525\A0056952.exe
C:\System Volume Information\_restore{7F7BE6F8-OD6A-488B-ABDC-75393719A72D}\RP525\A0056953.exe

etc ...

I am not one to travel to obviously risky websites. I update my
ZA database each day that I turn on my P.C.

So what now? I am losing trust and patience in my fully paid for ZA?
What good is it to have a security suite that can't protect you?
And is there really any live tech support available?

Besides having to reformat and restore my entire system, what can I do?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You did say you only updated ZA once a day..?

In todays environment with 100's of new threats created evey day, no Security program can provide 100% protection against everything.
Zone Alarm AV, Suite and Extreme 9.1 can be configured to check for AV/AS updates every 30 minutes.. on my computers I have noticed as many a 16 updates in one day..
