Ran AVG, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then Spybot 1.6.0.30 after starting to get popups about Trojans &/or other threats. Eventually found a bunch of files, mostly by A-M, cleaned things up & now no "system warning" or whatever it called itself for the past 6-7 hrs. Unfortunately, a flash-drive was connected & I foolishly used it to transfer a number of files to another machine - which, of course, now has the same problems! Ok, removed flash-drive & formatted (simple) it using 1st machine. Find flash-drive has "system.exe" & "autorun.inf" on it. Tried FileAssissin - still there. Ran Spybot on just the flash-drive & get the following message:
---------------------------------------------------
Spybot S&D (Malware)
[page symbol] system.exe nothing found
[page symbol] autorun.inf nothing found
Spybot S&D (Heuristic)
[page symbol] system.exe nothing found
["X" on red disk] autorun.inf Win32.autoit.p
---------------------------------------------------
followed by "Scan finished" and then "close."
Clicking "close" does just that, Spybot is apparently finished.
Can someone tell me what is going on here?
Thanks
Peter
