Recycler.exe—-spoils

Most o f the usb users definitely cme across this pblem. recycler.exe.It ‘ll hide the folders in usb nd may get spread . u even cannot open the driv by usual method.there are two hidden Files on USB Stick:a) autorun
b) RECYCLER

Scooby!. it ‘s autorun look like

[AutoRun]
open=RECYCLER.exe
shellexecute=RECYCLER.exe
shell\Auto\command=RECYCLER.exe
So I tried to rename it .but pity thing s it get replicated as the renamed name.but I could delete the renamed one but not the original.bcoz it w‘s write protected

Actually it b’longs 2 a trojan family..i certainly cleared this using antivrus[mcafee I used] with ease or by spy bot.search n yahoo answers  may help u.I h’d learnt following sols to recover the hidden folder

1.if u knw the folder name enter n win address or u can make use of the cmdprompt

2.if u can’t remember the name.chechk it in linux[virus wnt work] or use windows

Vista<if u like it>

AND instead of creating folder, create new zip or .rar folder at best .[most of the pen sticks supports]

do registryfix HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL

Update ur anti virus  regularly
