Title: Deleting infected file to Recycle Bin and empty its content. Make sense or not ?
Post by: doer on February 18, 2011, 11:12:38 AM

 Myself don't know how to classify this question - stupid or not ? Anyway, just out of my curiosity.
Let's say there's an infected file on my computer. And being aware of this I just delete this one to Recycle Bin and then empty content of my recycle bin. Would this procedure do the same action like using AV software to delete/clean such an infection ?

Absolutely not.
