Ok, so I used spyhunter to locate a bunch of crap on my computer, but now that I've found it, I can't seem to get rid of the files that are on my comp. They're located in a folder on my hard drive called Recycler. How in the hell do I get into this folder, as I can't seem to find a way into it (Yes I have show hidden files and folders enabled)?

i don't know too much about it but can't you jsut do a search for the folder name? and personally i use spybot search and destroy, it deletes the files for you ( i'm lazy like that) as far as i know adaware does it too or am i wrong?

I'm too cheap to pay for anything, is adaware free? I also tried doing a search for the files and the folder, but no dice.

I believe that adaware has a free version, however you need to confirm deletion of files. Any program that actually deletes files without your consent is something you shouldnt use by any means - trust me from experience

. If Recycle is in a Windows protected directory you might not be able to reach it - since windows probably thinks its useful or some other crap.

u can also get a version of adaware u pay for and it gets rid of even more stuff, my dad got it and its also got a thing that prevents em from coming on ur comp and it does more detailed scans and stuff
