Help with Virus at C:\RECYCLERS

[M Keville]

AVG identified 3 virus at C:\RECYCLERS\.... It didn't delete or put to the
vault so they are apparently still there. I have no idea how to get rid of
them as this file\location isn't accessible to me.Any help on getting rid of
them would be much appreciated. Thanks

That is your Recycle Bin (unless you once had one of the Norton products
which included Norton Protected Recycle Bin). So just emptying the Bin
should do it. If you had a Norton program and forgot to disable the
Protected Recycle Bin before uninstalling it, make sure you can see all
hidden files (from Folder Options) and delete the Recyclers folder. You
may need to go into Safe Mode to do this.

Thanks Malke, emptying the recycle bin cleared the problem.
