It is a hidden file. Go to Control Panel->Folder Options->View Tab and check
"Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system
files".

In your other thread, you said it was "Recycled" . . .

Your search is not finding it because it's a system folder with Hidden
and System attributes. It's actually your real Recycle Bin and is
holding all the files you put into the bin on your desktop.

I'd try just emptying the Recycle Bin first, and then re-running your
scan. If Norton still claims Recycled/Recycler is infected, do this:

1. Open a Command window: Start | Run, type "cmd" [Ignore the quotes in
all these instructions; they are just there for clarity and you should
not type them] and click OK.

2. At the prompt type: "cd \" <enter> (Notice there is a space between
"cd" and "\").

3. Type:
"attrib -s -h recycler" <enter> (or "recycled", whichever one it is).

4. Type "rd recycler" <enter> (or "recycled")

This should remove the folder and all its contents. Windows will create
a new folder when you next reboot.

5. Close the Command window and reboot.

Hope this helps :-)
