How to remove $Recycle.Bin and System Volume Information virus?
I run a 32-bit Windows 7 machine as well as a 64-bit Windows 7 laptop. I also have a few USBs and Hard-Drives infected with the $Recycle.Bin. I am not sure if it is a virus; however, on my Hard-Drive it has made everything hidden and the FOLDER PROPERTIES (not FOLDER AND SEARCH OPTIONS) wont let me unhide the folders. Also on my laptop, it has deleted My Documents, My Pictures, My Music etc files, and the only way I can access them is through AppData (so technically it hasn't deleted them). When I unhide system files and hidden files (through FOLDER AND SEARCH OPTIONS), it shows a bunch of random folders that I have never seen before.
I have tried several anti-virus and anti-malware programs but I will not hesitate to do it again, if that is what I have to do. Hope someone can help get rid of this BOTH on my PC and LAPTOP as well as my HARD-DRIVES and USBs. Thanks!
