I tried to search for the file but Recycler was an invalid dirrectory and scupdate and scan.exe came up with an invalid search as well.

 

I tried the hijacker program perhaps one of you can see what's wrong with my registry and help me delete the file.

 

It would be of tremendous help.

Thank you,

Hey

You have a clean log, nothing to see there

Do an onlinescan:

I solved my problem.  Thanks for the link though.. could come in handy for something else.  I used McAfee Quick Clean and found the errant file in the junk file cleaner and deleted it.. Problem solved.  Don't know why I didn't think to use that.

Thanks Touch.

Dirrty!
