Hi,
I used my USB drive on one of my college computers and got a virus... and now it has got into my laptop... both college PC and my laptop have Windows XP Pro with SP2.
Every time I insert the USB drive into my laptop, it erases all the data and writes the following files into it.
autorun.inf (166 bytes -is blank when i open it with notepad.)
MicrosoftPowerPoint.exe (462050 bytes, hidden)
fooool.exe (2560 bytes, hidden)
explorer.exe (9728 bytes, hidden)
RECYCLER\INFO.exe (106496 bytes, hidden)
RECYCLER\desktop.ini (63 bytes, hidden)
I tried formatting my USB drive but it will write the files again in it... I tried changing the USB drive name but even that is restored to the original name that it had when it got infected...
I tried scanning it with AVG Internet security 7.5 with latest updates but it did not detect any problems!
Then I ran Spybot S&D with latest updates but that too didnt find any problems!
Then I ran online antivirus scan of Bit Defender and it found virus W32.Small.r in file RECYCLER\INFO.exe
I got a utility with my USB drive to lock an area of the drive... I locked most of the space (had to keep minimum 3mb open) and filled that open space with text files... with just 14 byte remaining... When i removed the drive and inserted it again, it told me that the drive is not formated...
I searched the net for removal of the files - MicrosoftPowerPoint.exe, fooool.exe, INFO.exe, explorer.exe but I didnt find any files or registry entries specified in the websites for removal of these viruses...
I ran HijackThis on a PC with Deepfreeze before and after inserting the USB drive... It got infected but both gave the same log file...
