Help! Windows ask for .COM hidden file


Recommended Posts

Hello everbody,

I got a problem to acess my c and d drivers from "My Computer". When I click to the hard-drive icon it throws a

warning about a missing file "RECYCLE\S-2-4-14-100005794-100026726-100005101-5446.com".

I already formated and installed a new windows copy, but it did not fixed the problem.

I guess it started because I got a virus.

(but I already formatted, cos' it installed some services and files)

Could anybody to help?

Thak you

Welcome to the Windows Forum.

Did you really format your HD or partition, or did you just reinstall Windows over the existing installation? I get the feeling that your virus infection is still there.

But before you start anything else, can you just empty your Recycle Bin?

I really formated, but with the faster format mode

I have just cleaned my recycle bin and it stills asking for the file.

I am using a updated symantec antivirus and it doesnt find anything
