Andre,

I ran Spybot and Antispy and performed Virus scan and was surprised to see
heaps
of entries of Adware etc.

It is interesting that all this stuff still gets in even with a hardware
firewall on the router, software
firewall running and antivirus running. I have installed the real-time
antispy program also.

This did not fix the recycle bin problem. I also followed suggestions on
several sites to try
remove info2 and ran several utilities to try and clean out recycle bin.

I don't really want to need to reinstall Windows to get the bin empty so I
may have to follow a
few more links and try some more of the suggestions. The dialog tells me
there are 8 entries
in the recycle bin (that I cannot see). It mentions it cannot delete a
certain directory.
I can see this directory in DOS if I change the file attributes but cannot
seem to get rid of it.

Any other suggestions ?

Thanks


Kind Regards

David Huisman

David,

before you do any thing I think you should check a few things.
1. download SPYBOT from download.com install and run it
    this will clean some spyware
2. download ANTISPYWARE from microsoft.com and run it
    this will clean more spyware
3. go to www.trendmicro.com and let it scan your pc for virus
    I know you have it your own. it is free online scan and works
4. make sure you have all XP updates SP2 etc.

do all of that and let me know if it helped or not.
