I’ve just installed avast! Antivirus yesterday, and today, I decided to plug in my USB drive, when suddenly, avast! popped out a warning saying that my drive was infected with this worm but has successfully moved it to the virus chest. My only question is, can I now safely access my drive or not? :-\ I’m just worried that my laptop might catch this worm.
right click the drive and scan it with avast…make sure it is updated first
recomended program to use alongside avast http://amf.mycity.rs/mcshield/
Malwarebytes www.malwarebytes.org
Finished scanning, says No Threats Found. Is it now safe to open the drive?
fact of life…nothing is 100%… and no security program have 100% detection
yes if avast and mbam are calm then its all OK
Sooo, after the malware was sent to the Virus Chest, is it now safe to access the flash drive? O.o Btw, Happy New Year.
answer is: yes
Thanks mate. Helped a bunch.
