the recycler virus particularly come from pendrives,ipods,mp3 players etc.....which effects our folder's hidden and read only options....so to remove this virus I've got a lengthy,yet a very effective process..

1>restart your PC in safe mode {by pressing the F8 key constantly when the PC is restarted}

2>then run an anti-spyware check...for eg.download MALWAREBYTES ANTIMALWARE [its free]

3>run a complete anti-virus scan

4>clean up your system registry by downloading-- REG SEEKER

5>restart.....

[NOTE]:AFTER THIS PROCESS NEVER OPEN YOUR PENDRIVES OR ANY REMOVAL DRIVE,INSTEAD FORMAT THEM AND THEN OPEN......

Removing the Recycler.exe virus please follow the steps below…

Reboot your computer into Safe Mode, this is important as this is a memory resident virus. Do this by pressing F8 as the machine boots up and select safe mode from the DOS menu.

Once in Safe Mode, press enter to stay in safe mode, you don't want to go to Recovery.

1. Open up windows explorer, Start>Programs>Accessories>Explorer

2. Go to (In Vista press ALT to display menus) Tools>Folder Options>View>uncheck the items below:

1>display the contents of system folders

2>hide extensions for known file types

3>hide protected operating system files(Recommended)

Leave the other items as they are.

3. Press Apply>OK.

4. Leaving windows explorer open, navigate to the root of the C:\ drive and remove AUTORUN.INF and any files that end in *.CMD and *.BAT excepting for AUTORUN.BAT and COMMAND.COM which are legacy files you may or may not have. Now go to C:\Recycler and remove anything located in the folders that look like recycle bins, if you are on a network there will be more than one.

5. Delete all instances of the virus on your disk.

There are two or three variants of this virus, some put a file in the windows directory named SVHOSTE which is a hidden file - search for this and delete it.

6. Remove from Registry.

Open Registry Editor. Click Start>Run, type REGEDIT, then press Enter.

In the left panel, double-click the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>Active Setup>Installed Components

In the left panel, locate and delete the key:

{08B0E5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAX5-90401C608512}

Close REGEDIT and click on Start>Run or on Vista just type in the search box MSCONFIG and press enter.

Click the startup tab and uncheck any misspelt entries such as Microssoft and Norrton, also take into account the command of this startup entry, navigate to where these files are located and delete them from your disk.

Format any memory sticks you have used with this machine by going into explorer, right click on the disk and clicking format. Once Formatted reboot your virus free machine.

How do you remove recycler virus in window xp?

Normally recycler virus is a virus that exploits the autorun feature of Windows. In essence, they recycle themselves by renaming themselves. So as soon as your anti-virus program deletes their actual name in your system, they quickly assign a new name to themselves for their very survival. It copies the autorun.inf files on each drive of the computer, be it permanent or a removable media such as DVDs, CD ROMs, USB Devices, or Memory Sticks. The recycler virus originated from the W32.Lecna.H worm that spreads itself by copying itself to all the active drives.

The best way to do it is with a Virus Scanner. If you know what you're doing you could remove it yourself. You'd need to delete the exexutable [.exe] and remove the registry edits, if it has any, remove all startup processes that point to the virus and any data it has.

An exe file is an executable file .It may or may not be a virus. It could also be a harmless program file. You would need to run an exe file through virus total to find out if it is malicious. An exe is produced by compiling source code into object code then linking it into machine code and writing that to the exe file. Exe is short for executable and is the extension for an application on Win 32
