My virus scan is still stuck.

[Regulith]

Alright, I keep trying to run a full virus scan with McAfee (keep your opinions to yourself), but it keeps getting held up on a particular file. It gets about 1% through the scan, runs into "C:\$Recycle.Bin\S-1-5-2...0455-1000\$R5Q28N8.part" and stops. It never clears that file.

I Googled pieces of the file with no results, so what should I do? Is there a way to get into that location and delete the problem file? Would that screw anything up? I'm at a loss, and I want to be able to run a full scan of my computer. I'll leave it on overnight and see if it just takes a REALLY long time to scan, but even if that's the case, I want to fix that problem file.

The same thing happens to me with WindowsCare, it gets to one of the categories and stops about half way through. Usually it's just a cookie or something so I just uncheck the category so it skips it.

It is something in your Recycle Bin..?
Try emptying out the Recycle Bin or something.

I want to fully scan my computer. What if there's a virus in whatever category it's in? I want total control.

Already did.

Scan update: It hasn't moved from that file since it came to it a little before I first posted.

Try a different virus scanner?

[Regulith]

We payed for this one, I don't really want to abandon it. :/

[zz_tophat]

You don't have too, I run more than one, use something like malwarebytes or advanced system care 2.

(both free, good and don't run all the time.)

[Regulith]

Of course! I'll run Malwarebytes. I've used it a lot on other computers.

I'd still like to solve the problem, considering MWB doesn't do it for me.

EDIT: I think something's latched onto the Recycle Bin. When I empty it, it still appears full.
Never mind that's just the icon on my dock. Derp derp.

MWB found an infected object. Dunno what it is yet, not done scanning. I'm gonna go for the night, though.

Decided to abort and see what it was, apparently Bloxel, that build-to-pixel-art add-on is a trojan?!

Files Infected:
C:\Blockland\config\client\BloxelExports\bloxelRender.exe (Trojan.Agent)

avast! comes up with nothing, after scanning the file bloxelRenderer.exe on my computer.
Most likely a false-positive.

Never heard of it, but it might have become infected from another virus. Thats what happened to my whole computer in janurary, couldn't find one file not infected. Get Webroot Antivirus, got my computer Virus Free.

$Recycle.Bin isnt the same as just going into your recycling bin
You have to enable that viewing hidden files and folders thing and then go to C:\$Recycle.Bin and delete that file. Ive had a virus before that was hidden inside $Recycle.Bin and I and had to manually delete it

[Regulith]

I enabled hidden folders and didn't see it. I'll search around and see what comes up.

I just don't want to delete that file and end up breaking my computer. :|

Type C:\$Recycle.Bin as your directory

[zz_tophat]

I did a little fishing and there is a virus that is known to hide in the recycle bin W32/SirCam@MM but I see no mention of it stopping scans.

However many anti viruses have the recycle bin on their scan exclusion list and that may be the problem.

[Regulith]

Type C:\$Recycle.Bin as your directory

I have no idea where I'm supposed to do that :S

Nevermind, did that, but that folder is empty.

Correction: It contains 2 files and 3 folders, but I can't see them.
