If this concerned my Amiga I wouldn't be asking. So, as it's a peecee/WinXP of which I know next to nowt, maybe someone will help out.
It got infected with some malware which none of my antivirus(AVG)/spyware(AdAware) stuff could fix. There were .txt files with hidden .exe extensions all over the shop. AVG saw them as viruses OK, but couldn't fix, delete or quarrantine 'em. A real load of use that is!
Anyway, when I was trying to clean it up, I noticed my boot scanner showed suspect files on the second drive (D:). Some of these were in two folders I didn't recognise (D:Recycle and D:Recycled). These appear to be part of the malware, which spawned dubious content throughout drive C: and then started on D:. Most of that I managed to delete manually. Annoyingly, it then started spawning again so I had to reformat drive C: and start over....probably not necessary when you know what you're doing, but I don't.
Anyway, under WinXP the two folders are not shown when I open D:, which I assume means they are hidden (?). I want to clear these away, but don't know how.
So, How do I delete these folders?
What's the best (free) malware treatment?
Cheers,
