What the heck is RECYCLER\NPROTECT\blah blah blah

Author: Admin Tech4.us

Updated a windows XP … one that I never setup since 95 and now there are problems.  Besides the normal cleanup/update of 2-4 hours, I ran the free AVG antivirus and found NPROTECT, which I now is old Norton, or Symantec residue, but now mention anywhere else.

Anyhow, looking up took long enough that I will post the fix here.  if you scan for virus’s and see multiple warnings, then the fix is:

Start, RUN, CMD, for command Prompt… or whatever your fav way to open the Dos command screen, then type exaclty as below

rd /S “\\?\C:\recycler\nprotect”
 and it will ask to verify Are you Sure: Yes / No… click on Y for Yes, takes a few moments… but Vwalaaa… Gone.  Another one Bites the Fix!
