Recycler Virus is associated with System Volume  Information file that collects all Recylce Bin deleted items. Though it is not  as critical as any other viruses but it's annoying that every time it appears in your system drives.


Enable your Show Hidden Files menu using the Folder Option and you will see the two files: 
 Recycler and System Information. Recycler usually carried from your Flash Drives (USB) and triigered by autorun file then, it will penetrate and infect your system.

 Remember the following things when you encounter this virus:
