Question USB flash drive virus

hello guys.......
i've got a problem with my flashdrive.when i inserted my pendrive,i show the folder icon instead of the normal pendrive icon.
i manually deleted the autorn.inf file and recycler folder from my pendrive and my normal pendrive icon reappers.
i can also be able to access my data from it.
but the RECYCLER folder is recreated again.how to get rid of it?
is it because of ISE32.exe on C/recycler??is it harmful for my pc?

You need to remove it manually.. Follow the steps.

Set command prompt path to c:\recycler now open task manager and kill the process "explorer.exe" after that go back to command promt and then type del*.*. Once it's done run explorer.exe from taskmanager, after that open registry editor by typing "regedit" or "r" on run, locate following key

1.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{28ABC5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAX5-81CX1C635612}

2.HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{28ABC5C0-4FCB-11CF-AAX5-81CX1C635612}

Also search "ise32.exe" in whole registry and delete it. Clear you peb drive and delete autorun.inf



P.S
Initially try to clean it with antivirus.. As you mentioned "Avira" is only giving warning, switch your antivirus and then try it, if they also fail to clean then only apply above steps....

Download the trial version of Kaspersky 2009 and scan the PC. All virus, spyware problems should be eliminated.

Default simple, begin with a registry scan

I had similar problems

First identify the exe file indicated in autorun. use this file name in registry>edit>find. You will find all related files and registry entries. If you start deleting exe files and all, it will be replaced in no time. Start from registry.identify the location of files. most probably you will find on in system32, like : run dll as application". identfies these files from registry entries, take a noted pad, note these locations. now delete the registry entries. Then using the location, make sure you delete these infections. it will not get replaced. it worked for me. no antivirus is good enough for these kind of threats. you have to do it manually. left unnoticed, they will download fatal files. Also, reinstall your browser. it is necessary.

all the best
