NASTY!
Help-I got sumpin' "NASTY"
I got something called "RECYCLER" that I can't delete or uninstall. I wonder if I go into "safe" mode if that would do it? AVG 7.0 identified it as a virus. |

is there another name other than "RECYCLER"? I can't find anything about it
also you could try an online scanner, see the Online Virus Scanners section: http://muisejt.com/freeware.php |

I'll run AVG again and get the exact file name. I did an online scan at Trend Micro and it missed it. |

Heh, AVG7 is on crack then. Recycler is just your Recycle Bin. If anything you have some sort of "virus" file in your Recycle Bin. Does AVG show you the path to the suspect file? If it's X:\Recycler (where X: is a drive letter) then I can most assurdedly say that it's not a virus, at least not the whole folder. -MrD |
