  1. 10 antivirus in c drive suddenly and cannot remove them


    Hi,
    I have installed the new window 10 and updated it a few weeks ago. All the default defenders and protection were activated. Today suddenly I saw in my C drive there are 2 new folders. Here it is eset.temp and PerfLogs.

    Optical Drive Issue

    Hi Jerry, you're welcome.

    Here's mine after I rt clk'd on my Documents Folder like you show in Scrsht 11:

    10 antivirus in c drive suddenly and cannot remove them [​IMG]


    I'd like to wait until you reply to my question in Scrsht 12, if it is a remnant of the process try deleting the one on the dsktp and see if the one in send to also disappears. If it stays in send to, test it, and if you're still having problems I'd suggest you could go back to: Option One: To Add or Remove Items in Send To context menu for Your Account (current user) and do Step 3 to remove it and start over using Step 4 but be very careful of your steps in creating the shortcut and be sure you d&d that shortcut to the send to part of the address.

    I'm busy today and I probably won't be back until the evening.
