that virus made shortcuts of folders and completely hide em on my external harddrive...

does formating it work?

[sidforyou42]

@o0DeathStrike0o well, actually this virus was deep enough to make it through formatting, thats why i normally did the combofx, then formatted, but now if something like this was to happen to me, I would put a linux os on the computer, like Ubuntu, and then put windows back on it. You know change the OS completely so the virus can't follow.

[DirtyKermie]

Thank you so very much for this!

[17comawhite]

Thanks mate!

[habibshady]

what about windows 7?

[sidforyou42]

@habibshady

yeap it will work

[psychoblakatt]

One more thing I have windows vista on my computer and I was wondering after you download the combofix and drag the CFscprit into combofix ( It asked me to if I wanted to run it) should I allow it to? I also wanted to know why my folders became shortcuts is this part of the virus to or is it something else?

[sidforyou42]

@psychoblakatt

yes allow it, and im not sure, I think I did see that one time as part of the virus

[psychoblakatt]

Is it required to reformat the computer after combofix has gotten rid of the recycler virus?

[sidforyou42]

@psychoblakatt

well not necessarily, but i would myself to make sure, and I would install ubuntu first, because its linux, and then reinstall windows

[KOOLESTGAURANG]

[ivojara]

Dude, you rock, I had tried all i found on the web, I even paid for a software (peanuts, under 30$) but you hit it in the head, I ran your procedure and it was out. For all the rest who read this, you have to do this with all your USB crap plugged to the PC. if you forget anything it'll reinfect your computer.

Billions of thanks, you solved all my problems. once again YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!

how can i delete permanently the recycler in my nokia phone, i've inserted in my computer,now it has 6 recycler in my phone with diffrent names on it...it doesnt appear in my mobile phone but doess appear in "MUSIC GAME" when im choosing files to be selected by the game...ive seen files that are empty,and thats what i have been saying...pls. help me

[sidforyou42]

what kind of phone is it?

[farloy]

if i do this is the recycler virus will gone permanently or we need to reformat the computer before its gone?

[sidforyou42]

well I always reformatted mine afterwards, but there are other programs now that will take care of this problem. I used spyware doctor for a while, and it took care of it, also i think that CCleaner will remove it now and its free I think.

[Buddybluelakers]

i used a virus remover called malwarebytes and it says it was quarantined and removed soo does that mean im safe?

[sidforyou42]

well, if you don't see any symptoms of that virus on your computer anymore, I would say yes, but I would still probably get something that keeps things from entering back in to the system like Spyware Doctor. It has OnGaurd to stop things from comming in and infecting the system, but im sure there are other protections out there also. That's just what I use.

[Buddybluelakers]

basically what is a worm??

[sidforyou42]

a reproducing virus, that takes control, steals information, monitors, or intrudes into your system against your will. And some can destroy your software.

[fishyvilley]

@sidforyou42 and what's an adware and a trojan?i know they are bad viruses but can ya explain me what they do?:D

[sidforyou42]

@fishyvilley, adware is software designed to either spy on you or to target your information inorder to sell things to you, and a trojan is used to spy on you and get information from you, or even to monitor you in real time.

[o2jammersmerick]

waw...this actually works!after using this I've manage to manually delete the recycle virus and the autorun.inf on my USB tnx!^^

[sidforyou42]

Also since I made this video, i think the virus has been upgraded but the good news is, is that they have better spyware programs now. Like Spyware Doctor. It will completely get out things that this will miss.

[midvalley009]

What did u do to manually delete the virsus?

[sidforyou42]

the best thing to do, is find a Spyware Doctor torrent, with a serial key(or search google for the user name and code to register it) and it will clean it

[jordanmadjus]

Thanks man this thing was a pest didnt let me update/download any new virus checkers and was killing my pc slowly so I think you :)

[hypermonkey13]

Wow thanks alot man this virus had been sitting on my pc for awhile not doing anything untill recently started slowing it down and crashing it and none of my virus checkers would pick it up it was also stopping me from updating/downloading new virus scanners this work and was very easy thank you :)

[sidforyou42]

Also I forgot to mention that I saw this virus specifically come from a torrent on pirate bay. It was a Call of Duty World at World torrent. Now it is probably in alot more places than that, but when it intialized, it was like futu.exe, and i think 176.exe, it had wierd names like that. But thats what I have personally witnessed the virus being directly attached to.
