    Angry found spyware in recovery system folder

    i have two files that are in my inaccessable area of my hidden d:\ drive partition

    one is in D:\I386\Apps\src\Compaq_Presario.Spring06.exe

    the other is same only in the HPPavillion folder in the same I386 root

    can anyone tell me what i can get in there and clean these out with of somehow detect and clean without doing a destructive recovery like hp is trying to tell me to do?And what are these files?

    Hello

    What leads you to suspect those files ?

    Do you have a antivirus program and done a full scan ?
    Have you used a Online scan lately ?

    Its apparently a false positive, i suggest you send Nod32 a sample/copy

    Are there other problems beside that ?
