Re: What is Dc1071?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

First off, close the Registry Editor. Do not delete any
registry keys.

Second, it's not a virus. What you've stumbled upon is how the
Recycle Bin keeps track of items you delete. Occasionally items
get stuck there.

If you haven't done so already, try emptying your Recycle Bin
to see if it will permanently remove that folder. If that
doesn't work, try the following.

Boot into Safe Mode.
Open a command prompt window, Start -> Run -> cmd.exe.
Enter the following command

RD C:\Recycler /s

Answer yes to the prompt.

Reboot your computer.
Windows will recreate your Recycle Bin.

Good luck

Thanks for your comment. Before trying Safe Mode, I am
currently
middle of cleaning: Adaware, spybot and SpySweeper.
AVG is already running. Actually, Dc1071 is located as
follows. I
did not mention
"S-1-5-21-790525478-2049760794-682003330-1003\"
folder because it was too long.

C:\Recycler\S-1-5-21-790525478-2049760794-682003330-1003\Dc1071\
(this
folder is empty).

When I searched for
"S-1-5-21-790525478-2049760794-682003330-1003\" in
registry, I see tons of registry. Some are related to
Del..iciou.us,
Yahoo, and etc.

I am wondering if I could delete the whole registry related
to
S-1-5-21-790525478-2049760794-682003330-1003.

I clean my computer regularly using CCleaner. During

I found that Dc1071 folder was located in C:\Recycle, which
is a
hidden folder.
The Dc1071 subfolder is empty.

But I could not remove this folder. Please advise me how
to
remove this inconvenient folder.

Hi Craig,
Well try to delete it in safe Mode with Ccleaner and see if
you could
remove
it.
Another it could be a virus through a script generated on
your
computer so be sure this path not on your computer:
Open Windows explorer and click Tools >> Folder Options >>
View and
check "View Hidden Files and Folders"
Hit F5 or refresh and locate this path:
C:\Recycled\DC1071.html or see the extension of that file
in the
recycle bin.
Scan for malwares and viruses to be sure you computer is
clean as
Ccleaner is a deletion tool more than AV or a scanner.
HTH.
Let us know.
Regards,
nass
