    autorun.ini , hidden folder and shortcut virus on flash drive


    hi
    I download RogueKiller and saved it to the desktop and performed the first scan with windows and browsers open. then realized that they should be closed so did another scan with everything closed. you can find both reports attached.
    then as you instructed I used the "attrib -h -s -r -a /s /d G:\*.*"
    my flash drive name is G:\
    nothing seemed to happen in the command prompt as you see in the attached photo
    then I checked my G:\ drive
    the administrator shortcut still exists but the autorun.ini is gone for now. not sure if its permenantly gone though.
    when i double click on the administrator shortcut i recevie this error: can not find script file "G:\Microsoft.exe".
    at some point in the middle of these steps an unnamed folder showed up in the G:\ drive and a file with this extention: ".init" or something and one more file which sadly i can not recall its name. i shift+deleted them successfully.
    after these steps I downloaded Rkill and ran scan. you can also find the report attached to this post.

    I shoud also inform you that prior to these steps I used autorun exterminator for killing the autorun.ini but it did no good and kept cycling in a loop which the program deleted the autorun file but it kept regenerating itself over and over again.
    oh and my anti virus does not detect any threats. it is ESET Smart Security.
    there is also this wierd thing about my flash drive! the other day I inserted it into a pc at coffe net and on that pc I could see some stuff on my flash drive which I have deleted really long time ago(over 3years ago). what is wrong? how to fix it?
    Is it possible that the virus aslo spread to my other flash drives or even my external hard drive?
    one more thing! every time I insert this flash drive into my laptop, it says that it is recommanded to scan and fix the flash drive which I have done in a few times but the problem seems to resist no matter what!
    could you plz check these out and help me with my problem?

    cottonball, thanks for your reply I will follow your instructions and post the results for you. As you said, I have quoted your reply from the other thread below.

    Press on with RogueKiller as follows...
    •Quit all programs
    •Right-click the RogueKiller file and select: Run as Administrator
    •Wait until the Prescan finishes
    •Press: Scan
    •Then, press the [Delete] button.

    Please post the new RKreport (Mode: Delete) (created on the Desktop) in your reply. <<---

    I pressed the left shift key and inserted the flash drive, no autorun poped up but the scan and fix error still shows up. did I do it right?
    I ran the rougeKiller as administrator then scanned and pressed delete with lots of doubts ! when the deleting finished a notification poped up: "you must restart you computer to ??? user account settings"
    should I be worried about this?
    The delete report and dirlist are attached.

    dirlist.txt
    I also found out that I have $recycle.bin virus and system volume information on my laptop :|
    should I start a new topic for that too?

    tooca,

    You are doing fine. Not to worry.


    Please plug in the USB drive G:\, and get a capture of the notice you get when it is plugged in.
    You can use the Snipping Tool to do so:
    How to Use the Snipping Tool in Vista and Windows 7
    http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/14...ool-vista.html


    Next, please quit all programs
    •Right-click the RogueKiller file and select: Run as Administrator
    •Wait until the Prescan finishes
    •Press: Scan
    •Once the scan is done, press the [Shortcut Fix] button.

    Please post the new RKreport (Mode: Shortcut Fix) created on the Desktop in your reply.


    Now, please scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
    Download:http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download-exe.php
    Save to the Desktop
    Right-click the MBAM file, and select: Run as Administrator

    When the installation begins, follow the prompts in the setup process.
    DO NOT make any changes to default settings and when the program has finished installing, make sure only the Update Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware options are checked.
    Uncheck: Enable free trial of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO
    Click on the Finish button.

    If an update is found, the program automatically updates itself.
    At the program console, on the Scanner tab, and select: Perform Full Scan
    When the Select the Drives to scan appears, make sure all the drives, except the CD/DVD drive, are selected.
    Next, click on the Scan button.

    When the Malwarebytes scan is completed, click on: Show Results
    When presented with a screen showing the malware detected, make sure everything is Checked, and click on: Remove Selected

    When removal is completed, a report opens in Notepad.
    Please copy/paste the entire contents of the MBAM report in your reply. <<<---


    Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you are asked to reboot the computer so MBAM can proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) prevents MBAM from removing all the malware.



    Now, go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
    Right-click Command Prompt, and select: Run as Administrator

    Please copy (with mouse) the entire contents of the quote box below, paste it at the blinking cursor of the Command Prompt, and press: Enter
