Leave a Comment
Hi once again. This time i'm going to cover topic related to Viruses. Actually there are many viruses that spread through Pen drives , pin drives etc. Now i like to play games, just some days ago I bought PSI OPS game from one of mah friend Himsekhar. 
                                           And newfolder.exe infected my pen drive instantly. I could'nt remove it even with NET PROTECTOR 2011 Registered version. So after a lil searching  I found out This TRick so m gonna share this wid u. Ok enough chit-chat. Now lets get back to the topic.




  • Never Open the USB drive directly through the Auto Play Feature. Scan the USB drive for viruses by using your anti virus application. If you find any viruses in that scan, Eliminate them.

  • After that, Open the Command Prompt by typing ‘cmd‘ in the run box. In the command prompt type the drive letter: and press enter . Now type dir /w/a and press enter.





Check whether the list displayed contains the below given files.
  • Autorun.inf, Ravmon.exe, New Folder.exe, svchost.exe, Heap41a or any other exe file 



    If you encounter any of the above files, then probably the USB drive is infected. Now to delete the virus files manually..
    1. Go to command prompt type attrib -r -a -s -h *.* and press enter. This will remove the Read Only, Archive, System and hidden file attribute from all the files.
    2. Now just delete the files using the command del filename. example del Ravmon.exe.
    3. Delete all the files that are suspicious.
    4. To be on a safer side, just scan the USB drive with an anti virus program to check whether it is free of virus or not.
    5. Now remove the drive and plug it again. In most of the cases, the real culprit turns out to be the “Autorun.inf” file which mostly gets executed when someone clicks Ok in the dialog window which appears in Auto Play.
