USB Virus

[Solidus]

I have some crappy virus on my USB Flash Drive

AVG aint picking it up, the virus leaves 2 folders Autorun_Fichiers and MisVh55 <- This one being hidden.

Anyone have any experience with this virus?

Sounds like that stupid autorun...erm..trojan if I can call it dad,promiscuous as hell but mostly irritating. Remove the startup apps from msconfig if it's added any. Delete the autorun.inf files. Reboot

Try to gain complete control over all usb autorun.inf files and hidden ones.SOmetimes you delete it and next time its back again.
Put sytem restore of and do all this via safe mode by.

start -> run -> cmd

attrib -h -r -s

edit autorun.inf

Remove everything in there

Already on Linux, got the virus from a friend's pc and my bro still uses the windows partition that's how I came to know about it.

Thanks for the help will give it a jab now

Likely it messed with the registry:

I've found it also messes up your usb ports. Like the 3G modem is no longer detected. Anyway to fix it without re-installing?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions]

Dump in text file. Rename to .reg extension
