    Yes, you'll still have a 'System Reserved' partition after removing the drive letter. As gregrocker was saying, it wasn't supposed to have a drive letter to begin with...

    Acronis won't be affected by some BitDefender bloatware which you were using. Can you explain what this was?

    Most imaging suites require some free space on SysReserved partition to expand a paging file. This is the reason why no other programs should be allowed to write to it. Perhaps BitDefender had a backup using those bd files?

    Did you uninstall BitDefender to replace with MSE, and did those files go with it? If not I would delete them.

    Thanks for all the help & imput...

    Do you want to keep Bitdefender, because if so we could help you expand System Reserved? Personally I would uninstall it and use MSE with Malwarebytes on-demand scanner.

    To remove infection most effectively use Malwarebytes, if necessary from Safe Mode.
