Hi Gareth12345,

Something is infected and getting reinfected. There is a tool you can try, which might or might not work:

1 - Flash Drive Disinfector
Download Flash_Disinfector.exe by sUBs from >here< and save it to your desktop.

• Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it and follow any prompts that may appear.
• The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives including your mobile phone. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well.
• Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program.
• Reboot your computer when done.

Note: Flash_Disinfector will create a hidden folder named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive plugged in when you ran it. Don't delete this folder...it will help protect your drives from future infection. (there are good and bad autorun.inf files)


2. If the above doesn't work, try the following:
Create a folder under C:\Documents and Settings\your name\My Documents and then transfer everything from your flash drive to this folder. Then go through the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST and attach the logs. If you have moved all the files from the flash drive, then the READ ME procedures should pick up any infected files on your main computer and they will show up in the logs.

Hi Adri

Thanx it seems to work but do you tink that this will be able to remove the P.EXE one too?

 

Hi Gareth12345,

No, I don't. I think you should put your whole computer through the procedures in the READ & RUN ME FIRST and attach the logs so we can look at them. If you are on a network, it's important that your computer be disconnected from it.
