Pen drive is found affected after scanning

Hello,

Hey Lambort!

When we use USB and transfer data from one PC to another PC, a virus enters in the USB that can harm our system files. If your USB has virus and you plug it in your USB, all your system files will be affected by the virus.

The thing is that we have to install software that could stop the plugged USB virus. So I am using AUTORUN EXTERMINATOR and I also recommend it to you, whenever you will plug your USB into the PC, Autorun Exterminator will automatically clean the Virus, and your system files will be same from virus.

Here is the link for Autorun Exterminator:

You can also use Malwarebytes, it is an Anti-Malware software.

Here is the Link:

Thanks

I have found solutions for your problems 1. Please update your antivirus software and run a full scan this might be a malware that had affected your system and have a registry cleaner and fixer for your problem it might have mess with your registry files. ( Please have a very trusted antivirus I prefer kaspersky or norton they have the great detection rates for viruses like these) 2. Update your operating system for more protection against these type of malwares. 3. Please make sure where to put or insert your flashdrive maybe their are some computers that you use is being infected by a virus and then when you put in on your computer in detects that virus

Thanks,  Tunacao_Caaron1. I downloaded Malwarebytes Anti-malware from your link and installed it. I performed a full system scan to my pen drive and I successfully deleted the virus. Thank you very much!
