Solve : Possible virus on my memory stick?

Answer»

My memory stick is continually creating duplicate folders I have run a virus scan with Mcafee but it detects nothing. The Mcafee is up to date and the version is 8.5.0i.

I have a number of COLLEAGUES who have the same problem.

The duplicate folders that are created are .EXE files, when one double-clicks on it Mcafee reports that it has detected and deleted a virus "hakaglan"

Some assistance would be appreciated.To remove this infection, download & run this file.

Download Flash_Disinfector.exe by sUBs and save it to your desktop:

  • Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it.
  • Your desktop and icons may disappear. This is normal.
  • Follow any prompts that may appear.
  • Wait until the program has finished scanning, then please exit the program.
    • The tool may ask you to INSERT your flash drive, or other REMOVABLE DRIVES. Please do so and allow the tool to clean it up as well.
    • Please restart your computer.
    .
    Running sUBs Flash Disinfector will target alot of auto run infections and create a hidden folder named autorun.inf on each partition and any USB drive you plug in, these dummy autorun.inf files will help protect your PC from reinfection because if the infected flash drive is then inserted, autorun looks for autorun.inf which would normally run the infection but its then prevented by the dummy autorun.inf that is in place. If you have any USB drives please insert them when prompted when running the tool.

    You can easily delete the new autorun.inf if you choose.
