What virus is this...

[medicnick83]

Jumps onto anything, like a flash drive.
Autoruns when you put the flash drive in, when explorer loads up, you see it creating a folder "jim" on your C drive and then in that folder is a exe called carrey or whatever.

Any fix for this?

The Ace Ventura virus?

Must be a new one, I didn't found any Google hits.

That's the thing, I tried to google it too.

It causes explorer errors, and whenever you reload explorer, you see it doing it's thing - very fast.

Autorun.inf file (one I had on this flash drive) has the lyrics from "I believe I can fly" in it... hahaha.

It creates other folders on your c drive too, but for now, it's just this one that I've found.

Oh, it's hidden, you have to unhide it and then unhide 'system protected' files to see the folders.

Maybe a root kit?

What AV you running at the moment?

 

[dal2000]

Use Avast!, schedule boot-scan. Is it infecting all 'exe' files?

 

[medicnick83]

We running NOD32 and it's updated.
