WINDOWS folder mysteriously going into Recylce Bin

[SrBrunox]

Every now and then my main Windows folder shows up in the recycle bin, i cant delete it of course but its really annoying. I can "trick" my comp back by opening the recycle bin and closing it. But that takes like 5 secs and if you add all the times up thats like an hour of wasted time out of a year! we cant have that now can we.

Anyone else have this problem?

You could have gotten a virus or a trojan off of a p2p program's files. Do you have any virus protection programs running? if not try out antivir --> it is a free virus scanning program.

im fairly sure that im protected enough, i update my virus protection all the time and do adware clean ups frequently

if u havent, update ur spyware removal programs and use more than one.

and do a FULL (updated) virus scan

Actually I get that same problem every now and again, it's very weird!

Just restart the computer and she'll disappear!
