Hello,
I got a message that popped up and said:
"The virus W32/Swizzor.c.Downloader.troja virus was detected in D:\Recycler\(lots of numbers). Status: Infected"
I ran both Norton Antivirus and ET Inocculate on the folder D:\Recycler, but neither of them recognises an infected file. However, with NA, a message pops up instantly after the scan saying the same thing. But, on the report, it says there are no infected files.
Also, I heard that deleting the file created will fix the problem, but it isnt there. Any suggestions?

Hi

D:\Recycler is the recycle bin
Why it doesn't detect trojan in there when running manual scan I don't know...
I would just empty the recycle bin and do another scan.

have a nice day
