dcs18 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 If I just plug in the flash dive can Eset delet this virus ?Before plugging the flash drive into your computer to delete the virus, ensure that auto-play has been disabled on your system.You can find many different suggestion from different people at this topic — read all the pages before taking corrective action (I'd personally, disable auto-play at all different levels.) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalju Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Nothing not needed to download.And also all the files and folders are retained. You only have amended their attributes, and you need to restore them.Disable autorun insert this drive open command prompt (for ex Win + R => cmd.exe => OK) write at first drive letter => Press Enter now write this (or copy) "attrib f:*.* /d /s -h -r -s" NB! Without quotes and press Enter If done, then should be see all files and folders and everything must be OK.NB! On this picture is the drive letter f: => replace it with your drive letter Forgot - maybe You must run cmd.exe as administrator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vibranium Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 if you don't need any file located in that drive, reformat it.Best advice.Also, reformat using the q switch, e.g. format E: /q to save time and unnecessary write cycles on your flash device.

Kalju Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Dear people - it is not the virus, and no antivirus will not help here.This is the result of misusing or simply a defect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
