[QUOTE="Ramen, post: 307961, member: 26713"] *UPDATE" I have added the addtion file. As it is above, I scanned my External Hard-Drive (the G Drive) 1) Microsoft Security Essential (Nothing Detected) 2) Adwcleaner (Nothing Detected) 3) FRST scanner, (please see FRST and addtion attached) 4) MCshield (Detects something once in a while) but Only had results from MCshield that removes the malware, once in a while. (the patterns are random as I will write below) 1) Safely removing the external hard-drive after MCS's initial scan then connecting it (not found) 2) Restarting the system several days after the intinal after MCS's Initial scan -in this case, the MCS initial scans will find the .DS_store files again as for the DS_Store files I sometimes remove those file that I find in a different external hardrives (Drive K) I use with a Mac to transfer .mp3 files (I have the understanding that _DS.Store files are the file that the Mac OS uses for folder locations) I have found mixed information about the $Recylce.bin files ranging from "its a virus" to "not a virus" but not actually the contents of it (I did a google search but cannot find anything about it) please enlighten me what exactally are those files doing in my external hardrive (so far not infected my C drive or other External Hardrives) [/QUOTE]
