I know I have a virus but microsoft forum told me there is nothing wrong with my computer . A while back I had a file suddenly appear on my C drive - C:\$RECYCLE.BIN; - Microsoft forums told me this is a normal windows folder . If so why did it suddenly appear after six years of use on this pc . This folder along with all the folders that turned into shortcuts have EVERYONE in control .When I go to the security tab in the properties window and try to remove EVERYONE I get a popup saying I don't have permission to make these changes . It also says EVERYONE is inheriting permissions from its parent . The first time I run across EVERYONE in cotrol of a folder and tried to change it I got a message from windows help satind that in earlier versions of windows if you deleted everyone then no one could access the folder but that has been corrected in newer versions of windows . I don't know if this is connected to the other problems but I get a lot of webpages that quit responding . Sometimes there is a pop up saying that a long running script causing the problem . After I run Tweakings windows repair For a while I can delete EVERYONE from the folders permission list . After a while I can no longer make these changes and the ones I had changed are back to EVERYONE controlling the folder . spyhunter4 and AVG both did remote control scans of my pc and could not find anything . I was using AVAST Free antivirus and am now running AVG Free and neither of Them has found anything I uninstalled spyhunter4 and bought Malwarebytes Antimalware and it hasn't found anything either . I am seriously thinking of tossing the hard drive and installing a new one . I ran Ccleaner free space wipe and that seemed to help some . After that Check Disc worked alright And on Tweakings Windows Repair repair section it was able to run till it finished without any problems .I still can't send attachments or pictures or anything to anyone either by email or uploading to a website .
