Hi everybody,
Today I went to print some textes with my USB (to the print-shop), and the USB got inmediately infected.
A strange folder got created : Phim Nguoi Lon, and, back home, AVAST detected the following bad files :
1- AutoRun.inf
2- xih9.cmd
3- Secret.exe
4- phim nguoi lon.exe
all of them are now in the Quarantine (the security zone, which was what Avast recommend me to do). I scanned them again in the Quarantine folder and Avast told me the files themselves were clean now.
Anyway, I have kept the files there, just to prevent. So here are the automatic questions I put myself :
1- Should I delete them all ?
2- Or should I restore some of them ?
3- Should I ketp them in the quarantine zone forever ?
4- Is my USB and computer in a save mode now ?
I've done, later, a scan with the online service Kaspersky offers, and my USB seems to be clean.
I'll probably do the same with the whole computer.
But by now, I'd like to know how to deal with the infected files, and how to know if my USB is still needing some extra action to restore its original health.
Thanks very much if someone can help me.
