I've been living with this problem for 4 months. My search results get Hijacked, advertising spots on websites are Hijacked and replaced with male enhancement products Vimax (or some garbage like that). I get popups - its very annoying.
> I have ESET NOD32 Anti-Virus, its been scanned a millions times, can't delete files just quarantines them.
> I've used numerous malware software but to no help. ie. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
The Problem
I need to format my computer, but I can't because whatever this virus/malware/trojan is has infected my external hard drive and my laptop hard dive. whenever I try to access my hard drives it says:
"Windows cannot find 'RECYCLER\S-2-9-64-100020311-1000296899-5786.COM'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click Start button, and then click Search"
I've tried to delete this "RECYCER\S" folder, but it doesn't exist. The same error comes up whenever I try to access my hard drive from My Computer, I have to use the address bar to access them.
PLEASE HELP! I need to get this is ASAP! thanks in advance
