$RECYCLE.BIN Virus in External Hard Drive
Hello,
In mid December I purchased a custom built PC and up until now it has been running perfectly.
But recently I scanned my entire computer (and connected devices) with AVG and found that inside of my external hard drive I have a virus.
This virus is located in the hidden $RECYCLE.BIN folder.
I have tried using AVG Free, Norton 360 (Trial) and Malwarebytes (Trial) to remove the virus but they either don't find the objects or are unable to delete them.
I have tried browsing to the folder myself by changing folder options but when I try to delete the folder in question the deletion diolog does not move from "discovering".
I will attach some screen shots of my AVG test results. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Caleb Watson
