Hi guys,

I just received a Memory Stick Pen 16GB which I bought on Ebay, and after I plugged it in my USB drive, I copied some files in it just to try it. I then tried to open the pen's folder (drive H:) from My Computer to see my copied files, and all of a sudden, AVG popped up with a Resident Shield Alert saying "THREAT DETECTED - Virus Found VBS/Agent" in the filename "H:\Administrator.vbs". The threat was reported to be "Detected on Open". Then, AVG showed the usual options to either "Remove Threats" or "Ignore". I tried both. At the same time, a Windows Script Host alert also popped up saying "Loading Script H:\Administrator.vbs failed(access is Denied)".

When I tried to "Ignore" the alert from AVG and tried to access the folder again, both AVG and windows KEPT on giving me the 2 same messages continuously which I mentioned above. On the other hand, whenever I "Removed the Threat to the Virus Vault" and tried to open the memory stick pen folder from My Computer, the message "Can not find script file "H:Administrator.vbs" was reported by Windows Script Host. When I then tried to restore my file from AVG Virus Vault, AVG reported continuously that a Threat was Detected.

However, strangely enough, I managed to access and copy the files on my memory stick by right click on the memory stick folder(drive H: ) and select either Open or Explore. The folder was only reported to be access denied or gave me the problems as described above whenever I double clicked the relevant folder from My Computer. Having said this I still feel that the problem is not solved and I'm very concerned whether it truly contains a virus or not.

Also, it's very important to mention, that when I accessed the folder for the first time, there were no files in it. The file "Administrator.vbs" appeared for the frst time when I first removed it in AVG's virus vault and then restored it. It's now physically there and is a file of 34kb size.

Also, I'd like to mention that about 2 weeks ago I bought a memory stick pen from the same seller with same specs which is 100% identical to this one with no problems at all.

What can I do? Is the threat reported by AVG a false/positive? Is it a real virus?
Do you think that if I FORMAT my memory stick pen will solve the problem?

Finally, I'm attaching 2 images showing the different alerts I'm getting all the time which I talked about earlier.

Just to let you know, my system runs on 1.5GB Ram with Windows XP.

Thanks a lot for any kind of help and assistance.

Best REGARDS,
