Hello people of Avast!

I have a problem with the memories.

it completes update, marks virus in any type of memory USB.

I can deactivate the scanned one of the memories?

Anticipated thanks

My friend had this type of virus in it's USB. It should not be a false positive. Virus in friend's USB was hidden in the same path as yours. The best is to format your USB drive. You DO NOT need to turn of your resident or other protection.

It's a virus, not a false positive.
The path is very strange... \Recycler\Recycler\

This link is a tutorial on how to help correct a virus detection that you believe to be false: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=25009.msg204838#msg204838
