Anyone know what this is ? clam finds it everyday in 8 -10 different RECYCLER files. I delete them from quarantine file, and the next day they're back. I run the memory and the back up drive, and find nothing. Every day on the main drive it (they)shows up. I am clueless.

I'm basically a mac guy, so I dont know much about windows xp. If you can help,keep the explanation in simplest terms possible. Thanks, Denny

The Recycler file is related to your Windows Recycle Bin. Empty your Recycle Bin before your next scan, and that should take care of things.

Also, whenever you find a virus/malware, it's a good idea to Disable Windows System Restore to clear it because a system Restore point could have set automatically by Windows or even manually by you while the virus was on your computer, and you don't want to restore it at some point in the future. You can Enable System Restore again and set a new restore point right after you Disable it.

Regards,

What you are telling me is that, essentially, I have been chasing my tail.
I'll follow your advice. Thanks for the quick reply GB. Denny

Well, if there are viruses in Recycle Bin, they aren't usually going to be a problem--unless someone restores a file with one. Some people don't empty it very often, so they could stay in there for some time. Perhaps ClamWin needs an option to have it clean/empty the Bin before a scan. This might prevent some concerns.
