They try to con you into thinking that it is a legitamate windows file
recycler.exe recycled
think its conficker you have, every removable drive and mapped drive will have one.
Autorun.inf, Which you can open in notepad will point to this recycle*.exe file, which will spread like fleas on a scabby dog.
Plenty of autorun eaters out there for you thou

How much could I make off of scrapping a BMW M52TU at the aluminum recycler?
Has 54k miles 1999 323i but can’t find a camshaft to make the engine run without paying more than I payed for the car the engine was going to go in.( I can’t find a place with any answers in my state). If I recyle the block ,head and all the aluminum, what could I possibly make in the state of Oklahoma? Have not found any listings of local prices for recyclers.

The block is worth more to a BMW enthusiast than you could ever get at a scrap yard. Post it up for sale on bimmerforums.com describing exact condition. Ask like $700+ shipping or something. Price similar motors.
Mark asks…
How does a television recycler turn a profit in California?
I understand they are subsidized. How much? Where do the TV’s go? What is the nature and extent of the subsidies?
All I can find is a video of an American worker slicing open cathode ray tubes. Also, an article on a Chinese town dedicated to the primitive business of mining electronic parts. Finally, a story of a drug addict who became a recycling magnate through the help of friends and subsidies. That’s it so far!
The Expert answers:
There are no subsidies for private recycling businesses. It’s damn near impossible to profit from that in Ca due to strict enviromental laws.

Why is there a recycler folder and System Volume Information folder on my drive D?
recycler is a recycle bin, right? idk.. i believe that recycler folder should be found on drive c…i think it is a virus.. if i delete the recycler folder, will my pc crash?
for the System Volume Information folder, when i open it, it says, access denied…. hmmm,, but when i scan it on avg, there is nothing wrong with it… pls help.. tnx
The Expert answers:
You might have installed Undelete Professional or some of the software of that nature. However if you have not done that, you may actually have a worm on your system. That worm might not be removable presently by AVG, or you may not have the full version (do you have downloaded version) of the avg on your system. Install the full version and scan your system. Everything should be alright afterwards.
But if you still have the same problem, start your computer in save mode and then right-click you computer to disable system restore on the hard disk then go to the hard disk (D) and delete the files manually.
Finally the other thing that can cause this problem could be that you had operating system files on this drive previously or presently. Or you have set your view hidden file option on.

Can I import CRT cullets recyled by an authorised recycler in the United States?
I am a trader and middleman, going to import CRT glass cullets from a United States supplier who is licensed to recycle used Televisions and Used computer monitors to supply a CRT monitor manufacturer in my country. Will I face any objections with the local port authorities or customs to clear these shipments and sell to the CRT manufacturer in my country. Any advice how to import and supply to the CRT manufacturer?
The Expert answers:
Might not.
But, I am leaning towards the “not” part.
If you find some more info on the search engine.
It might clear up bit.
You might face some objections, but try smooth talking out of it.
Shipments, if able, will cost a little for there travel.
Good question, I’ll give you a star for it.
But I am sure it is a no.
