MSE unable to detect infection on an infected usb flash
I just ran a scan of my wife's infected flash (she gave it to a friend at work to copy her movie) using an up-to-date MSE on Win7 Home Premium 64-bit and it DID NOT detect anything at all. When I opened the flash I see duplicates of its original contents that have their icon's edge sort of blurry so I know the infection is still there so I quickly (just pulled it out) unplug it. I ran a full system scan and "...winmaximizer" was detected as a severe threat and fortunately MSE was able to remove it.
now I am afraid to use this flash again since I am sure it is still infected. i've already tried to remove its infection using MSE again on my HP Vista Home Premium 32-bit and got the same result. i will run a full system scan on my vista laptop later BUT please assist on how to detect and remove infection from potentially infected usb flashes.
many thanks in advance.
