    Default Possible virus?

    Upon starting my HP desktop I get a message that my Recycle bin is contaminated, do I want to empty it? I click yes and it goes into an endless loop. Finally comes back that I need administrator rights empty the recycle. I have been running SpyBot with no effect. When I try to go to IE I get a message that the page cannot be opened. Any suggestions?

    Where does the message come from?

    Does Spybot flag any issues?

    Please list:
    Version of Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/shop/
    The operating system
    Other security programs installed
    Any other issues with the computer's performance

    Best regards.
