Computer Recycler

I’ve been looking everywhere on how to remove this, but there’s a folder that keeps popping up on my USB drives called "Recycler". Inside it there’s a folder named "S-1-5-21-1482476501-1644491937-682003330-1013" which holds an Autorun.inf and Recycler.exe.

I’ve tried removing it several times, several different ways (command prompt, registry editor etc.). I’ve already re-installed windows, and no anti-virus/anti-spyware/anti-malware software detects it. This includes Malwarebytes, Superanti, Spybot, etc.

I can temp remove it on a mac by deleting the files (one of them I have to unlock) but the folders won’t allow me to delete them anymore (on a Mac at school, and it claims to need admin permissions to delete the folders, meanwhile it’s my own USB drive). It seems to be eating up file space or something because whenever I delete any files, I still don’t gain any space back. Not even to save a Jpeg, and I just removed two very large music files from one disc in particular.

I think this thing may have been infecting my pc/usbs for a while, but only just now am I starting to see it. Last year it wouldn’t allow me to click on my usb drives to open them. I had to right click > explore to access it at all. Another time they’d open in a new window even when I only clicked on them normally. I also read that a variant of the virus can cause some system files to be corrupted and restart shortly after booting up. My old machine did just that.

I must’ve gotten it from a school computer or something, I don’t do torrents or P2P, nor do I use Myspace (I think I closed my old account off a few years back). I’ve looked at autoruneater @ download.com (and other popular fixes) but the reviews for each one suggest they still don’t remove the virus. I need something that’s a surefire fix (just in case this computer is affected as much as the old one was).
The ‘not allowing me to add new files’ thing got weirder. It shows me I have 1Gb free and 500Mb used, but I still can’t save Jpegs to it on Macs. Can sort of do it on Windows though…
