    Hi MG!

    I was recently cleaned from a malware infection, located on my laptop.

    Among the malware, a virus called "3.exe", also infected my pendrive
    (see photo).

    ATM. I am trying to recover my 2 gb Kingston pen drive, but I have no idea as of where to start.

    syshost mzungfxndyc exe 1,57 MB (1.650.688 bytes)
    (files on the pendrive)
    (see photo)
    + a lot more files, only a few are not infected.

    The one thing that I did, for fear of infecting my laptop again, was to install
    a program called "Panda Research USB Vaccine - 1.0.1.4", which unable any application to auto run.

    After the installation the 3.exe doesn't appear anymore, but everything else
    is still corrupted, and I would like to receive Pro Geek Help, to resolve, repair
    and recover the alternated flash drive files.

    I accidentally doubled clicked the syshost file, but stopped it immediately in
    Windows Task Manager, but it managed to clone itself, still on the flash
    drive though.

    Thanks,

    :)

    Your files a most likely not recoverable. They may have been encrypted or the may have simply been corrupted. My suggestion would be to take anything readable that you can off of the drive and then format it.
