Hello,

My friend has asked me to look at 2 USB sticks that are misbehaving after having an infected file on them. Apparently her virus checker detected the file when the stick was inserted into the desktop & "dealt with it". (I'm not sure exactly what the infection was, other than it was some form of trojan and attached to file f://xlk9.com. I'm also not sure whether the virus checker deleted, cleaned or renamed the file).

The problem is that when you now double click on the sticks in either windows explorer or my computer, one asks you to choose the program to open the file and the other says "access denied". However if you RIGHT click and choose "explore", the files on the sticks are displayed no problem. I would really appreciate some advice please on the best way of proceeding. Thanks 1. Download Flash Disinfector and save it ot your Desktop.
2. After downloading, double-click on Flash_Disinfector to run it.
3. Just follow the prompts and CONTINUE until it begin scanning.
4. If asked to insert your flash drive or any removable device including USB Pen Drive and Memory Stick, please do so.
5. It will scan removable drives, WAIT for the scan to finish. Done.Thanks mate I'll give that a go shortly and report back. Thanks for your help. Both sticks are WORKING fine now. Great. Good luck.
