Hello. I had this virus on my laptop which put all the files in the external drives to "hidden" status, plus it created HEAPS of "tmp" files in the same external drives.
I decided to format and reinstall windows7, and everything went fine until I (stupidly) connected my kindle (ebook reader), which I had not formatted since using it on the old installation.
Immediatly I got this message that avast blocked a "threat". It also tells me I don't need to do anything.
Object: F:\autorun.inf
Infection: INF:AutoRun-EJ[Trj]
Process: C:\Windows\System32\Wscript.exe
This message also pops up every second anytime I connect some external drives (but not all). It does for example with the kindle itself, plus everytime I copy a folder into the drive it immediatly becomes hidden and the system creates a shortcut to it (not hidden).
It also does so with an SD card. I formatted it, but nothing changes. As soon as the formatting is done, the popups start again, and immediatly ther appears in the drive a folder named "2e2e" with to files inside, "g3f7a3" and "i3333". The computer tells me they are "Jscript script files".
There appears also an "autorun" file, in the root directory of the drive, which disappears and reappears every few seconds.
Since that moment, even with no devices connected, every now and then (20' or less) I get this popup that avast blocked a website or a file
Object: http: // etpsoprc.ru/a
Infection: URL:Mal
Process: C:\Windows\System32\Wscript.exeI also get this icon in the notification area of my taskbar, like windows is downloading some updates, but when I hover the mouse over that icon, it disappears.
I tried deleting this "Wscript" file but it tells me I "need permission from TustedInstaller".
I googled a bit, downloaded McShield but it won't install.
Any help?
TY
