Something creates volumeInformation.exe on my USB Flash Drive - how to prevent ?

That scan is still pretty clean.  What about the aeldr.exe file?  Did you test it at VT?

Hmm is (or was) incredimail installed ?

No I forgot to test it with VT. I just moved it to quarantine.

And the other file - "ExcellToXml.exe ", I have not deleted it. It is still there.

Hmm is (or was) incredimail installed ?

Yes. Incredimail is installed on this PC. My mother in law uses it for email. This software is simillar to Outlook as I know. Can this software harm the PC?

Do you have the VirusTotal link for the Incredimail file?  Best I can tell is that the application uses ads to support the company but that does not mean anything malicious is going on.

That file is fine.  I would say your system (or your Mom's system, in this case) is good to go.  Is the AV scanning correctly?

Once we visit her I try to scan whole PC with Avast AV.

One question. Can you reccomend me some encryption tool to protect my USB Flash Drive? I have to use Flash Drive on different PCs and some of them may have viruses. I already have McShield on my PC, but I can not install it on PCs of all the people I have to work with.

MCShield will protect your computer / flash drive
Other users need to install it on there computers if they want protection against malware that use USB drive to spread

I can recommend it to people I know well, but when I see a person first time in my life - it's difficult.

If you after using your flash drive in another computer see your MCShield detect and clean when you plug it in your computer, you should tell them that they have a infected computer and recomend MCShield      

IMHO mcshield should be installed on all scool, hotel, printshop, internet cafe, computers. It would save them fore lots of trouble

If the Malware encrypts files (making them inaccessible) on my USB Flash Drive I plug into an infected  PC of somebody, MchShield (on my PC) will not help.

Correct, MCShield is not a antivirus and does not detect ransomware, it only detect those malwaretypes that use removable drives to spread

For ransomware protection you should always have backup of your file(s)

I have uploaded the volumeInformation.exe (the file I have mentioned in the title of the tread) to VT again. Just to see how many Antiviruses recognise it. Vt says only 28 of 58 recognized it. Kaspersky has disappointed me.
