Hi all. My thumb drive was infected with this virus and I plugged it into my computer and it became infected. In the end I formatted the thumb drive, but the virus was still inside. Also, I formatted the computer and it's now virus-free.
This time round, I plugged the infected thumb drive into my laptop. But before I plugged it in, I pressed shift to prevent auto-run. So a window popped up asking me what action do I want to take and, I saw this 'program' or some sort named 'Auto run' in the pop-up window. I closed it, and scanned the thumb drive with Avast! which detected the virus. I moved it into the virus chest.
Then I removed the thumb drive and plugged it in again, without pressing shift this time. But it sort of hanged so I just plugged it out and reinserted it, pressing shift.
The window asking me what to do popped up again. I scanned the thumb drive and found that there was still a file inside. I'm not sure if that file is associated with the virus. So I reformatted the drive.
What I'm worried about now is whether my laptop is still infected. Because the 2nd time I inserted the thumb drive, I didn't press shift. So it kind of auto ran? However, I've ran 3 thorough tests but no threats were detected. Please advise. Thanks.
