Andy,

I ran a CA security check earlier today and two files are infected. They are both located in the c:\recycler directory. I did some research to try and find this directory, but to no avail.

I showed all my hidden files in explorer, restarted my computer and still nothing. I then went into safe mode, still nothing.

I would really appreciate your help on getting rid of this. Thanks for all the help.

Jon

By the way, is there anything I should update or download to make my PC more secure?

That's your recycle bin, try the following:

Copy & paste the text in bold below into notepad and save it as recyclerem.bat
(Set filetype to "All Files")


attrib -r -s -h %systemdrive%\Recycler
del %systemdrive%\Recycler
attrib -r -s -h %systemdrive%\Recycled
del %systemdrive%\Recycled
shutdown /r /t 0 /f


Close all programs and doubleclick recyclerem.bat

Your computer will reboot and you will have a shiny new (empty) recycle bin.
