Sigh.. no one knows about this???

Well lets change it a little, it's a SKL virus... it start in auto-run and basically it jumps onto other flash drives.. it's really irratating..

It seems you and computers are a dangerous combo. I wish you stayed close to me. I would have made a lot of money out of you.:D

It will be advisable to disable the auto run functions on your pc. This will prevent flash, roms, external drive being accessed automatically when they are connected and reduce the chances of viruses "jumping" from one drive to another. I'm not going to explain this process. Google it. There many registry hacks, methods and software that can do this for you.

I found this on the net. It should help you with your current problem. I can't remember if MSE cleans the auto run virus. Either Avast or PC Cillen can do it, maybe both. I seem to remember that you use MSE.



Worms spreads by creating a copy of itself and starts by autorun.inf files. It is essential to remove the malicious and autorun.inf files not only from computers but also from the source, and that is the USB Drive. PreciseSecurity have created a procedure to delete the malicious files on infected drives.

PROCEDURE:
1. While the computer is still off;
2. Plugin the USB Drive
3. Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. It must be the bootable Windows XP Installer
4. Start the computer from the CD-ROM drive. It will start Windows Setup screen
5. When the “Welcome to Setup” prompt appears.Press “R” to start the Recovery Console
6. If asked “Which Window installation would you like to logon to” select the number. Type “1? then Enter, if only one installation of Windows is present
7. Enter the administrator password, press Enter
8. It will bring you to command prompt, C:\Windows>
9. Proceed with the following command:
- Type d: (This is the drive letter of USB. It can be e: or f: defending on how many hard disk or cd drive is installed)
- Type attrib -h -r -s autorun.inf
- Type “edit autorun.inf” it will open DOS Editor and display contents as follows
==========================
[autorun]
open=file.exe
shell\Open\Command=file.exe
shell\open\Default=1
shell\Explore\Command=file.exe
shell\Autoplay\command=file.exe
==========================
Take note on the file that it called to open (in above example it is file.exe)

10. Exit DOS Editor and return to command prompt, D:\>
11. Delete the file that was called to open on DOS Editor
- Type del /f /a file.exe

12. Delete autorun.inf file
- Type del /f /a autorun.inf

13. Exit Recovery Console by typing exit.


Once again this is not the only way to do, but if you follow the instructions, you shouldn't disable your pc to much...
I hope.
:p

P.S Not a gr8 attitude you displayed asking for an other forum that can you.
Nobody must help you. They do it because they are nice enough or want to do it.

I see..

A rather long process..

but thanks.. um. . I'm going to try do the avast way first and then trying your way, because your way sounds alot more complex..

Anyway, Thanks alot..

I do have MSE... but I heard from someone else that you can install MSE and avast together... (Well just two anti virus together..)

So i'm going to try that ^^

I know nobody is suppose to help me.. but I just really want to get the virus away..

How do you disbale the function of auto run? Do I have to do it when the auto run pops up or is there a option where it applies for everything?
