PENDRIVE Hard Drive?

[zurk12]

I just formated my computer and the next day I check my hard drives and I get a PENDRIVE folder? Any ideas to fix it? Only thing i can think of that I might of caused it was, trying to remove dual boot from xp on my seprate hard drive and I might of removed something that wasnt suppose to be removed.

Hello zurk12.



What happens if you right click F: and select "Open" are there files to view?

 

[zurk12]

Yes, I'm able to view the folders in 7. But in xp I'm unable to.

How did you "trying to remove dual boot from xp" how / what did you do.

Well I deleted some text, I don't recall what it said from the autoconfig.inf from the system startup. But one of my friends said I might have a trojan in my xp, but if I did had it why until now to show up as pendrive?

The best thing for you to do is download and install the free version of MBAM from the link below after that do a full / complete scan with Malwarebytes to see if it finds any malware and post back with the results.

Hello again.



I'm not much with system security but there are people here that are, this has been moved to the "System Security" forum and someone will help you shortly, just keep checking back.

anything?

Yes ... clean up your pen/flash drive!

Flash_Disinfector link:
Flash_Disinfector.exe by sUBs
*** Note: Be sure to insert your flashdrives before you begin!
Right click and run as Administrator to run Flash_Disinfector.exe and follow any prompts that may appear.
The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives including your mobile phone. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well.
Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program.
Reboot your computer when done.

***Note: Flash_Disinfector will create a hidden folder named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive plugged in when you ran it. Don't delete this folder...it will help protect your drives from future infection.
