"C:\resycled\ntldr.com is not a valid Win32 application"

[Quartersndimes]

I was on my computer and was trying to access my HDDs when something unexpected came up. I double-clicked on "My Computer" and tried to get access to one of my HDDs (the one I was trying to get into was called "MMHDD"). It came up with a window saying "C:\resycled\ntldr.com is not a valid Win32 application." I then tried to access my Flash Drive, but it did the same. The same with all my hard drives. I can access them via command prompt, even via the run command. But I cant access them via explorer worth anything. Whaddido?

Is this a hd with an OS installed on it? Like slaving to recover files? Was the word "recycled" misspelled like that?

You have a virus that was contained in a certain codec install.

Proably changed your keys located at:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2\

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2\C

and so on

hi reptilia82 can you tell me if the nod 32 worked im dealing with the same thing, and i am also dealing with tr\vundo.gen Trojan right now...

 

[LordOfLA]

go download it and try for yourself 🙂

 

[calcal]

i did and it scanned 375,835 files and no infected files or threads or detections and i know i got Trojans 😛

 

[LordOfLA]

set it to in-depth mode (choose complete scan). By default it doesn't scan as hard 🙂

 

[AmaturePolorican]

Okay, all. This soved everything. Go to malwarebytes.com. They have a free antivirus scanning software that took out all of my viruses including the resycled/ntldr one and about 30 other I didnt know about. That is the best antimalware I have ever had. I even bought kaspersky, and that was a total waste. The malwarebytes one is best.
