    Trojan and Recycle Bin Problem - Further Update


    I found some earlier screenshotsThey seem to be using the Recycle Bin to bypass security. The entries in the Recycle Bin are accounts in the Security tab. When I used Takeown, while I had the Security Tab open, the entries would revert to S-1-5-21-xxxx instead account names.I have 4 drives and Recycle Bin important traverses all 4 drives and able to somehow bypass various security measures. The Trojan swaps drive D: and E: . Like an embezzlement scheme it uses double books. Anti-virus never gets a good look at the actual hard drive to scan for infection.Need a boot USB, with virus scan

    :)

    • Right click on the Recycle Bin icon.
    • Under the Settings for selected location, select Custom size.
    • Fill up the box for your allotted maximum file size for your Recycle Bin.
    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Recycle Bin

    Hi, Scout-86.

    Bare with me. I'm only a student in Information Technology. I believe the recycle bin might be corrupted, causing it to vanish from the desktop completely.

    Try one of these two fixes and see if helps.

    Solution 1:

    • Step 1: Select Start -> Settings -> Personalization -> Themes -> Desktop icon settings.
    • Step 2: Make sure the checkbox for Recycle Bin is checked, then select OK. You should see the icon displayed on your desktop.

    Solution 2:

    • Step 1 Run Command Prompt as an administrator.
    • Step 2 Type the command rd /s /q C:\$Recycle.bin and press enter.
    • Step 3 Type exit to close the Command Prompt window

    I hope this helps!
