USB Virus Removal : How to remove recycler virus on USB
The recycler virus is one of the most dreaded viruses. The most dangerous thing is that recycler virus makes use of portable devices like usb drives to spread itself. Basic modus operandi of the virus is to keep itself as a hiddent, read-only executable file on the USB. It also inserts a line into the autorun file of the usb pointing to itself. And once you double click on the usb, the virus runs and infects the clean pc.
Removing the recycler virus is as simple as listing files on your usb drive along listing hidden files as well. Look for a file autorun.inf and delete. See my post about removing virus from usb for the exact steps. Hubpages has a good post about usb virus removal as well.

i deleted the recycler on c drive and still slowing my pc and blocks my internet connection. when i click my anti virus update it doesn’t run the update.
After i restarted my computer, the recycler virus auto creates an administrator account on my windows xp which requires a password to access.Since i dont have another windows account, i cant access to startup deskstop unless i have the password for the admin account or anything else. Neither I have have the recovery console disc. Any suggestions?

i’ve also tried safemode.
There is a password removal tool hanging on the web (p*****bay). Burn it to disc and run. We use it when the computers people bring to be repaired are password protected, and the person cant remember, or are infected, as you are.
the RECYCLER virus, will change the Administrator password to “hacked”
kinda funny when u think about.
still this is the most pain in the butt worm ive had to deal with this year.
