After a family member was using this computer in question, I noticed that it was running very slowly. So, I rebooted it and once at the desktop, Avira Free AntiVirus popped up 'Detection' - Recycler infection located.
Recycler is the virus which spreads through USB flash drive / pen drive and is found in most of the computers and portable drives. Here is a short note on how to remove the recycler virus or BV:Autorun-G[Wrm].Autorun virus of this kind will be identified by avast antivirus, but it fails to remove the antivirus. Descargar Gratis Antivirus Que Elimine Recycler Los Angeles. Technology Protection 64004 - The layered system restore c recycler system32 rdpclip. To give it ago Coverage for Everyday PC Barometer to Mysterious Island kills Mina,.
' Then after I tried to scan it with Avira, 'Autorun.inf' warning popped up on both C: and E: drives. This is not my computer, so I do not use it very often, except to update the drivers, keep the programs up to date, and TRY to ensure that it remains virus free. However, the other members in the household evidently are not practicing safe computer use on the internet. I had assumed that the Avira Free Antivirus had cleaned the system because it did a complete scan and then did not detect anything further.

I took a look at the event log and it said in the report that this event was blocked. So, I went back to what I was originally going to do on this computer, i.e.
Complete a defrag on it, and after it was done, I looked at some of the files that could not be defragged and it found several of those 'RECYCLER' files on the C: and E: drives of the computer. So, I tried to utilize Avira Free AntiVirus to remove the problem but it was unable to do so. Then, I tried to use MalwareBytes(Free Verstion), it too was unable to locate any infected files. I next tried to use SuperAntiSpyware and all it was able to do is get rid of was about 22 non-threatening Cookie trackers.
Last night, I went to ESET and ran the free scan over night to see if it could locate and get rid of the virus. But, ESET free scan could not find anything either. I did a search on this particular virus and found out that it somewhat difficult to remove. I looked at several websites and the various 'how to' remove this virus, but I am not too good or comfortable with going real deep into the system registries to remove stuff.
I also found out that this virus could have been transferred to a portable device such as an IPOD/ITouch. The other member in the family has an I-Touch and Itunes on this computer and I believe there is a good chance it may be on that I-Touch device too! So, I will need help to get this RECYCLER virus cleaned this computer and on the I-Touch just to be safe. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Hi hYlAnDeRTFC and welcome.
Please download by sUBs and save it to your desktop. Double-click FlashDisinfector.exe to run it and follow any prompts that may appear. The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well. Hold down the Shift key when inserting the drive until Windows detects it to keep autorun.inf from executing if it is present. Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program.
Reboot your computer when done. Note: As part of its routine, FlashDisinfector will create a hidden folder named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive that was plugged in when you ran it. Do not delete this folder.it will help protect your drives from future infection by keeping the autorun file from being installed on the root drive and running other malicious files.

I just defragged this computer 1 week ago! I don't understand why the fragmentation would be at 15% based on that scan. I have not uploaded or downloaded anything in over a week due to having contracted this computer virus. Edited by hYlAnDeRTFC, 29 November 2012 - 09:49 PM.
Hello hYlAnDeRTFC I just defragged this computer 1 week ago! I don't understand why the fragmentation would be at 15% based on that scan. Please ignore it. It's a bug in the tool.
The Adobe update is also wrong. Now some updates. Your version of Internet Explorer is outdated.
Please download IE 8 from. Save it to your desktop. Double click on the file on your desktop to start the installation process. Reboot Now go to and download all the updates it offers you. Next double click Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan. If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself.
Press the OK button and continue. If you encounter any problems while downloading the definition updates, manually download them from and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install. Under the Scanner tab, make sure the ' Perform Quick Scan' option is selected. Click on the Scan button. When finished, a message box will say ' The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found'. Click OK to close the message box, then click the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
Make sure that everything is checked and then click Remove Selected. When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad. The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab. Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply.
Be sure to post the complete log to include the top portion which shows the database version and your operating system. Exit Malwarebytes' when done. Note: If Malwarebytes' encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be asked to reboot your computer so it can proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally will prevent Malwarebytes' from removing all the malware. Please delete the SystemLook folder and the Security Check folder from your desktop.
I need to see the MBAM log. Are there any further problems?
White Warrior. Hello hYlAnDeRTFC I think Avira is flagging a false positive and that the file does not exist.
This is why the program is hanging. Using windows explorer, see if you can find this file.
DC1203.exe If you do find it then please delete it. Because you are still having some problems I'd like to run another scan just to make sure there is nothing lurking. Please download the ( TDSSKiller.exe) and save it to your Desktop. Reboot now to finish the cleaning process. A log file named TDSSKillerversiondatetimelog.txt (i.e. TDSSKiller.2.4.0.009.o7.26log.txt) will be created and saved to the root directory (usually Local Disk C:).
Copy and paste the contents of that file in your next reply. Let me know how you got on with the recycler file. White Warrior. I looked on the infected Computer to see if I could locate the 'Recycler' file.
I do not know how to use IE to find such files. I could not locate it anywhere from My Computer C: drive. If this file is hidden, I will need instructions on where to locate it if it is in fact a hidden file somewhere, but again, I could not find it on the C: drive. The system still seems to run a little slow.
![Descargar antivirus gratis windows 10 Descargar antivirus gratis windows 10](/uploads/1/2/5/6/125644402/498049620.jpg)
But, that may be because it is an older system with not alot of RAM in it. But, I swear this system ran a bit faster before. Here is the scan results from the TDS Killer program. Hello hYlAnDeRTFC That's good that file is not there.
Your logs look clean. Some things you can try to improve a slow system. You can try this.
You may also find this helpful: Unnecessary processes running at startup can cause a system slowdown. Please download and save it to your Desktop. Double-click StartUpLite.exe to run the program. This will display all unnecessary startup entries. Select all options you would like executed, then select Continue.
I recommend you disable them all, and see if there is any improvement in the computer's speed. Now some preventative steps to ensure you don't get infected again: It is important that you visit regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates. You can check your system for out of date software manually, or by using automated tools such as.
This goes doubly for security applications such as antivirus and other antimalware products based on definition lists, where out of date lists mean no detection of newer malware. Finally, read this tutorial and follow each of the steps: Happy Surfing. White Warrior. So, is that false positive anything to really worry about? I am at work at the moment.
But, once I get home, I'll go ahead and start to implement those suggestions you recommended. Additionally, as an extra security measure, as if I had not done enough already, I have exhaustively discussed with certain family members to no longer download 'ANYTHING' without my being there to have it either scanned first before downloading, or just simply not download it. This is about the 5th time this year this has happened and is always related to some sort of peer to peer mp3 music or video downloading. So, I sure hope this works out.
I really do thank you for all your assistance and appreciate your time. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Holiday this year. Thanks again!
If you’ve had a computer for a while then you most likely know that viruses are dangerous. What you may not be aware of are some shocking statistics about viruses. For instance, did you know that viruses have cost households an estimated $4.5 billion dollars in damages?
It is also estimated that a million households have lost money or had their accounts or identities compromised by phishing activities. As we begin to accept laptops, internet banking and connectivity as a way of life, it is important to realize that these technologies are not without certain risks.
These risks however don’t preclude you from taking advantage of the technology. There are ways to ensure that your data and personal information remains secure. Investing in good anti-virus and good malware detection programs is one way of averting the danger. And if you find your system has been infected, then you need to act quickly to remove the virus. If you would like to learn more about protecting your data from viruses, enroll in the and take advantage of over twenty-five lessons that will show you how to install and setup antivirus and antimalware programs.
It will teach you to how to configure and implement a backup strategy to keep your data safe. You will learn to surf the web safely, using Linux, within a virtual machine. One of main virus culprits people suffer from is the recycler virus. The recycler virus is a variation of the W32.Lecna.H worm. The virus is generally spread via removable devices like USB drives, memory sticks, CD-ROMs, DVDs, or other portable devices.
The virus enters your PC via the autorun feature found on these types of devices. The Windows autorun feature is initialized by the autorun.inf file. The virus can also infect a system via an executable file. When the recycler virus enters a system, it creates hidden files and batch folders on each drive on the system. These hidden files can rewrite registry files. The biggest threat posed by the recycler virus is that it can connect to the internet and download malicious codes or programs that allow hackers to steal personal information from the system. Credit and debit card information, logins, usernames and passwords can be accessed by the hackers and this information can be used for illegal or criminal activities.
The recycler virus is notoriously difficult to get rid of because of the number of files it affects within the system and because of the fact that it infects the registry files as well. Antivirus programs are sometimes able to identify the virus, but more often than not, antivirus programs cannot remove the virus from the system. It is possible to remove the recycler virus manually, but these steps are not recommended for new PC users.
If you are not comfortable making changes to the registry or using the task manager, then the best advice is to seek professional help and allow the experts to remove the virus from your device. If you want to try to remove it yourself, make a backup of your system before you attempt any of the following steps. If something goes wrong, you will at least have a backup of your data and present system settings. Steps to Remove the Recycler Virus The steps below are designed to help you try to remove the recycler virus. Since the virus copies itself to a number of different locations and onto all drives on the computer, you may need to follow some of the steps for the different drives or devices you use. Try Your Antivirus Software There is no harm in trying your antivirus program first.
This is often the easiest way to get rid of a PC virus. If you do not have antivirus software then download a free version from a reputable website.
AVG have a free virus program and AVAST also offer a free version of their virus protection software. If the software finds the virus and safely removes it, then you are done with the least amount of hassle or risk to your data.
Search for “cftmon.exe” If your antivirus program does not remove the virus, then first create a restore point on your PC. Once the restore point has been created, right click the windows taskbar or press Ctrl, Alt and Del and select task manager to start the task manager. This is what the task manager screen looks like: Click the processes tab and then search for “ctfmon.exe”. Select the file and click “end process”. Close the task manager. Search for ctfmon.exe Once the process has been disabled, click the windows start button: Search for “ctfmon.exe” using the search bar and delete any copies of the file that you find.
Once you have deleted all copies of the file, then restart your computer in safe mode. Restarting in Safe Mode To restart in safe mode, click F8 as the computer starts to force Windows to start in safe mode.
Once the computer has started in safe mode, look for all autorun.inf files. Check within the hidden files too. Delete these files. Repeat the search on all of the drives and then once you’ve deleted the files, make sure you empty the recycle bin. Delete the Entries Within the Registry Once you’ve completed the above steps, then click the Windows Start icon and type regedit to edit the registry: Click Edit and then select find and search for “NoDriveTypeAutoRun”.
