Typically $RECYCLE.BIN is for recycle bin allocation form your hard disk partition. and  System Volume Information bears the useful info regarding your volume.

These things are shown because hide protected system files tick is removed

Cant say it a virus effect or not..

If you feel like infected, much better to take the assistance of antivirus software

Download hitman pro 3.7**(shareware and can be activated for 30 days free)**and have a full system scan.. http://www.surfright.nl/en 

And/or

use malwarebyte have a full system scan http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/

After verifying , you can just make them invisible by doing this... 

Note:- Optional/additional info -----(You DON'T have to run below to fix the problem )


Any folder and its content can be made shown as a recycle bin using a desktop.ini

Normally within this desktop.ini u can see. 

[.ShellClassInfo]

CLSID={645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-8964


open a command prompt run as administrator

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc947813%28v=ws.10%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

change the the folder attrattributesre desktop.ini is kept using

attrib +a +s +h +r "folder" \* /d /s

you will see a recyclear bin folder

    Hi mr Hetti,

    cheers

    Open a command prompt run as admin..

    Then type

    d:

    hit enter button in the keyboard and type

    cd D:\Movies 

    hit enter button in the keyboard

    then you should see your commad prompt has changed to

    D:\Movies**>**

    Now use attrib command in the following manner

    **In a nutshell you should see your path has changed in command promptD:\Movies>**before hitting enter

    D:\Movies**>*attrib -a -r -s -h /d /s \

    hit enter.. (Do not blindly hit enter with attrib command make sure your command prompt path has changed to D:\Movies)

    This will remove unnecessary hide/system attributes/options from your movies ..

    Then you should go ahead with the hiding default hidden items..
