maong magsige balik2x masking gidelete na sa USB kay ang imong pc infected naman gud bai....

ang best way man gud para dili basta2x masudlan og mga virus gikan sa usb kay ang pagdisable sa autorun dd2 sa gpedit.msc or regedit.


btw, kanang technique ni tin tin regarding sa autorun.inf nga folder kay effective kaayo KUNG ang imong pc dili infected.

Sir Smart..ako na gi-run ang MalwareBytes A.M.

MalwareBytes
Caught 24 infections in all today right after update.
-22 Adware.MyWebSearch (tracking cookie)
- 2 Trojan.Vundo

SpywareDoctor
Caught 68 infections
54 tracking cookies
10 adwares
4 trojan.downloader.agent.duj

AVG 9.0
My AVG 9.0 found 43 infections on the 30th.Nov.09 and 51 infections on 4th.Dec.09
All were tracking cookies only

Pero all found nothing on my USB drive.

Di man ko Smart hehehehe.. Smark noon. Seeeeee ..... detected dyud diay, Remove your AVG kay wa dyud na ayo. Replace it with AntiVir believe me kay naay ma detect nga virus nga dili ma detect sa AVG, ang AVG kay bug.at na kaayo ron unlike sauna.

Sir Smart,

I have fully installed na the Avira Antivir and had it updated.
Nya full-scan dayon.

I only detected one! usa ra jud.... nya not marked as infection, just an "unwanted program"
1 unwanted program

Pero iya gi-delete.
Mao ra.
................

Ako pod gi-scan ang ako USB drive... same with other AVG, wala pod siya'y na-detect.
Ako na pod gi-test if ok na ba jud.
I created a new folder in my USB and copied one picture file.
Unplug... then re-plug after 5minutes.

There it goes again!

Files in ASCII / garbled codes again.

Im back to square one.

Here is the latest screenshot...


Mao lang gihapon with Avira around

Bro naka encounter pud ko ingon ana nga problema sa una, labi na kanang mga FAKE USB Drive naka butang 32G pero inside it's 64MB, It's not realy virus but corrupted area of your USB. Na try na nimo reformat imong USB Drive?

As you can see ang mga file size inside your USB is beyond the file capacity of your USB. Just like something wrong with your File Records.

Try to reformat it.

inig format ana awa diba makita ang katag ana ... kung 20G na mahimo nang 1G ra diay .....

@jack, ad2 daw sa RUN then type cmd. then kung naa naka sa cmd window etype ang: tasklist
then ecopy (by rightclicking the list then select MARK, then higlight the lists then rightclick again para macopy) ang list then e-paste diri.

unya e-type pud ni sa cmd nga window:
REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v Shell

og ang

REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v Userinit

then epaste pud diri ang result anang duha.

i think dli na virus ang recycler nimo.

[SmaRkieS]

Actually Sir... ako na jud na na-format og suway. Fortunately, 8gigs man lang gihapon ang result.
And copying the old files back doesn't seems to trigger the "virus phenomenon".

Ang kana ra jud magbuhat og bag-o nga folder and copying new files in/to the USB.


Salamat daan Sir.

no reaction man sa post nako... What Brand and model imong USB Drive? Basin SONY na daghan kaayo fake nga SONY.

My sincere apologies sir Smark.

All the antivirus i had deteded the adwares, tracking cookies, and trojans in my PC. (although its quite new)
But unfortunately, NONE OF THEM DETECTED 'anomalies' in my USB drive.

AVG, Avira, Malwarebytes and SpyDoctor DETECTED NOTHING in my USB DRIVE.

Im really wondering why.

My USB drive is an 8gig Sandisk usb.
8gig jud iya capacity Sir.
As posted before.. i've tried formating it already. 8gigs man gihapon ang result.

And what if you try to use another USB Drive kung naa ba dyud problema gikan sa imong PC.

Ang suspect dyud nako kay imong USB.

[technowar]

Basin after nimo format, imo ra gihapon isulod ang mga files ug balik sa imong 8gb usb. Who knows, naa didto ang mga virus?

[SmaRkieS]

I got 3 USB Thumbdrives Sir Smark.
...duha ka 4 gigs og this one 8gigs. All Sandisk.

The other 2 USB drives got no problem. Bisag i've been using them on the same PC.
Kani ra jud usa >>> agn 8gigs USB drive.


And now... for the second time... i am REFORMATting may 8gigs usb drive.
I hope naa ni maayo nga result. Kay ako man gi-disinfect (usb disinfector) before nako gi-format.

Oh naa man diay na, as you say duha ka USB drive walay problem with the same procedure you did with the same PC, meaning wala nay blema ang PC and the 2 USB drive.. As what I have said before naay chance nga GUBA ang imong USB drive. Naa dyud limitation ang READ and WRITE sa imong USB Drive. It's not virus...

Like all flash memory devices, flash drives can sustain only a limited number of write and erase cycles before failure. This should be a consideration when using a flash drive to run application software or an operating system. To address this, as well as space limitations, some developers have produced special versions of operating systems (such as Linux in Live USB)[31] or commonplace applications (such as Mozilla Firefox) designed to run from flash drives. These are typically optimized for size and configured to place temporary or intermediate files in the computer's main RAM rather than store them temporarily on the flash drive.

Most USB flash drives do not include a write-protect mechanism, although some have a switch on the housing of the drive itself to keep the host computer from writing or modifying data on the drive. Write-protection makes a device suitable for repairing virus-contaminated host computers without risk of infecting the USB flash drive itself.

aw tuara... ang imong 8g nga usb ang daot, klaro na kaayo.......

unya ang imong processes na imong gipost og sa common registry values nga imong gipost kay limpyo man.....

unya basaha pud ang giquote ni smarrkies o regarding usb read/write

[SmaRkieS]

conclusion:

Mao sige ug balik, kay mao diay ang mga files sa USB imong gi pang back up didto sa HD including the suspected files, then after reformat imo rapud diay e balik, mao sad mag balik balik ang sakit sa imong USB.

Bro for your additional protection from any plugged USB device we can block the autorun function also works for CD/DVD roms.

You can use the Microsoft's TweakUI.

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe

e Install then adto sa imong control panel, naay TweakUI didto.

Check my screen shot.


Click also the Types, and uncheck both USB and CD and DVD Drives.
