Im scanning now with avg antispyware and its currently scanning some folder called C:\recycler\nprotect and i have checked in windows explorer and that folder is no where to be found. I do recall a few yrs back i had some issues with my computer where it was locking me out entirely. Long story short is that a friend of mine tried to get me back in and couldnt uninstall or format or anything and we had decided to just install a new windows over the old one. Im thinking these recycler files are part of that left over system and from what avg is telling me during the actual scan is that most if not all of these files are infected and according to using the command line prompt and doin some searching there seem to be about 1600+ files at least in this recycler folder. Not sure if this matters but thought i should mention it.
*edit* as of this posting im currently showing 43,000+ files infected and before it got to the recycler file i was at maybe 500 then bam its just been going crazy since hitting that folder.
