    1.65MB files appear everywhere-Norton not fixing anything


    I was checking my flashdisk for some files but then I noticed that for all my files,there was 1.65MB extension folder and I have tried so hard to delete them but they just reappear. Only one thing came to mind: computer virus. I.m pretty sure my flashdisk and probably my laptop are infected but I scanned my entire computer and my flashdisk and no viruses were noticed. What should I do?

    What malware app did you use?

    In addition to Malwarebytes you could try Norton Power Eraser or the Norton Bootable Recover Tools Wizard.

    Norton Rescue Tools

    Because Norton Power Eraser uses aggressive methods to detect threats, there is a risk that it can select some legitimate programs for removal. You should use this tool very carefully.
