How to remove latest.exe Virus from pen drive??

[rajaramvengayil]

My pen drive is infected with latest.exe virus. A music folder appears in pen drive. A file named latest.exe also appears in the latest folder in the music folder. Even if i deleted the music folder, it reappears.. same is the case when i formatted my pen drive... I think my pen drive is infected with abwiz trojan... now am not able to use my pen drive... please provide a solution for it... How to remove this virus from the system..??

If the folder reappears after full format, then the problem must be with the computer you are using the pen drive on. So run a antivirus check on the computer you are using

I think the best way to open you Pen drive with Linux live CD and remove all the files...from your drive..
Or...You open your pen drive in WinRar explorer..It will all the files..Hidden System..remove all those...your virus will be removed..without any anti virus...

Use a different computer to format and try it on this. If it is fine on other computer then ur PC is infected not the Pen Drive. Try to run virus scan with latest updated Antivirus.

it's not the name... the virus replicates to an application file with the same name as a folder created during it's existence. Creates an autorun.inf file in the usb... making the usb open the file everytime it starts. KAV doesn't detect it as av... avg detected, but couldn't delete as the virus is under use!
Yah.. seen that... b4

One tip...

never ever double click your pen drive to open it
dont even use autoplay to open it

Always right-click and open the pen drive ,or any CD(just in case.....:D)

it seems, the virus is not just in your pendrive, its migrated to your pc as well. update your virus scanner, then click on my computer>tools>folder options>view after going here click next to show hidden folders, and remove the tick out of hide extensions for known file types and hide protected operating system files. Then do a complete antivirus check of your system with the pendrive plugged into your system. I recommend you to use kaspersky antivirus, its very effective and fast.
