Answer» I've got a virus that I keep finding on my FLASH drive. The file is eexyv.exe and it comes with an autorun.inf to get it going when you PLUG in the drive. I have autorun turned off on my computers, so it never really starts up, but I still can't figure out how it keeps getting in there. My flash drive generally only travels between four computers: Work internet PC, work development pc (no internet), home pc (limited internet), and my wife's laptop. INITIALLY I thought I was getting the malware from the laptop since it is the only one without virus PROTECTION, but I haven't used the laptop in several weeks and the file just now showed up on the flash drive. Any ideas on how I can find which pc is infecting the drive? I'm getting ready to wipe out the laptop and start over with it, but I don't think it's the one causing the problem, since I haven't used it in a while.Please go to this link and follow the directions and post the required logs. Of course, you will have to do this for each computer. If you decide to go this method, please start a new thread for each computer, otherwise it would be very confusing.Ya, I guess I could do a hjt on each pc. I guess I was more wondering if anyone has ever encountered this file before and if they knew anything about it. I've done a little research on it and haven't found much information on it. Symantec says it's a trojan and that it is dangerous, but not much more. A bit more info here, I googled it and the first three search results are WOT declared dangerous sites so be careful what you link to.....
