Hello,

Somethings wrong with my computer when i double click on local disk C: i get this error message...

Windows cannot find RECYCLER/s-7-0-76-100012312-100030475-100024956-4936.com

and i have no idea what to do please help me.

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.6

Okay This is the same thing I'm getting but with a couple extra things....

1. AVG wont update
2.cant install any other virus detection or Spyware software....
3.disabled the windows firewall....and it wont let me access it to turn it back on,
4. I get basic sound but if I try and play with Divx or window media player I get no sound....

any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks

I tried Avast and Prevx first, but they didn't capture the virus. Then I run Combifix, and in a DOS window it tells me I need to wait for 10 minutes or more for my computer disks being scanned, but I waited for 3~4 hours, and it didn't show any scan result.

It even stops me getting access to Kaspersky and it is so annoying.

I have an idea..... I don't know if it will work in your situation, but you can try it. In talking to some computer geek friends of mine, they were saying one of the "new Big" things that adware programs are doing is basically routing your computer through a proxy, which is either loaded onto your machine or via the internet. Now like I said this may not be the case on your machine, but its an easy thing to try.

Firefox: go to Tools - Options - Advanced - Network tab - then settings in the connection part. This will bring up your proxy screen. Check the box for either no proxy or automatically detect, you may have to try one then the other depending on how you connect to the internet. That's it.

Internet Explorer: Tools - Internet Options - connections tab - then LAN Settings. Be sure that you do not have a check next to "use automatic config script" and no check next to "use a proxy server"

Hope that helps.

Also, Birmingham - that autoruneater works great. Thanks for the link.

Thanks Birmingham that program worked for me too

i had the exact same problam

Hey

i had the exact same problem as this, the recycler virus.

i manually deleted the autorun files that were in my C drive and D drive before i ran the autorun eater
the autorun eater fixed my external hard drive but it doesnt find anything in the drives that are actually in my computer

the recycler folder is still in my C and D drives; and my MSN isnt working

any fixes would be appreaciated

I think you should repair or maybe reformat your pc i don't see any other solutions

The Quadra is the exact same thing I had. The easiest thing to do is let AVG run its full course - include the root kits in the scan. Just need to be patient with it and let it do its job. I will guarantee that it will take probably 2 or 3 sweeps to completely rid itself. I have the Full edition of AVG with the live scan or whatever the hell its called. That picked up files over the next few days that would try to reinstall the same virus.

Also, after AVG runs its course, use the Autoruneater mentioned above by Birmingham.

Thats what worked for me.

It depends, first, did you open an e-mail that said 'Hallmark Card' or something? If so, your computer has a virus. This virus burns your Hard disk C and you can't open it again until you get an anti-virus thingey. When it's all installed, shut your computer down for 24 hours to let it all soak in, if you turn it on too early, you will have to do it all again and your C disk won't open until it soaks in. You may even have to let it rest more than 24 hours if you have an old computer or a laptop. If you follow these directions, you can open your Hard Disk C again, if not, try a different anti-virus thing and repeat the process. I heard about this on the news, but don't know what a Hard Disk C is. Will you tell me?

I tried the autorunfixer and it removes it then the auto run fixer finds it again, I remove it, etc.

Thanks to the guy who suggested us the Autorun Eater program. Did the work awesomely. Removed my Autorun.inf virus that was giving me error in opening C: But my error was that I double Clicked C: and it showed a new window like C: was acually a file that needed a program to open it (In this case it could be opened with explorer.exe located in C:\Windows). It also fixed the prog of hidden files not showing due to being disabled by virus(trojan actually).

Autorun eater is the bees knees
