I am using Avast 4.8 Professional, and it does not detect malware on USB flash disk.
Malware consists of “autorun.inf” file with a reference to “torta.exe” executable in “\SLATKO” subdirectory.
In that subdirectory the file “desktop.ini” is also present, which contains CLSID to display the content of the subdirectory as Recycle Bin.
Kaspersky Antivirus detects the malware as “Trojan.Win32.AutoRun.sl”, “HEUR:Trojan.Win32.Invader”, and “HEUR:Worm.Win32.Generic”.
The computer of my chief is infected by this malware and Avast 4.8 Demo which we have installed on it does not find a file with the malware that loads into computer memory and infects flash disks inserted. On my computer autorun from removable drives is turned off, so I had inserted infected flash disk, but Avast 4.8 Professional did not find any viruses on it.
I have posted malware files to virus@avast.com on 2009-12-30. Can I expect the malware to be included into Avast virus database, so I can find infected file on my chief’s computer, remove the malware, and prevent further malware propagation?
Thank you, polonus, but I can not allow myself to try removal tool without a description, license, and with executable having “.com” extension instead of “.exe”, even when it comes from www.kaspersky.com.
Can you give me a link to a page with that removal tool description?
Scott, thank you for the reply!
I had launched “klwk.com” program on infected computer, but it did not find any viruses in computer memory
(the file “torta.exe” have appeared on flash disk inserted, however).
This is not surprising, because the name of the malware, as Kaspersky Antivirus detects it, is absent in the list of viruses “klwk.com” program detects and cleans. That list of viruses is located at http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?qid=193238496, this is a link from your reply.
= Installs
= Double-click navilog1 which is on the desktop
= Press a button until reaching the options
= Choose option 1 (= type 1)
do not use the other without notice, there may be legitimate processes
The report is in c: fixnavi.txt
Post this report here as an attached txt file…
Well I have tested the Kaspersky tool site for you - it is clean…
I checked the download link here with DrWeb’s online URL checker: Checking: http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/solutions?qid=193238496

polonus, thank you for the reply.
Again, you are not giving me a link with the description of the program you recommend me to try.
And I can not try it because it comes from a web site I do not know and trust.
When I had posted the message to this forum I expected to obtain a reply from somebody from Avast support team with a hint about time span they add the malware to Avast virus database, so I can get rid of the malware in standard way.
This forum is the only place I can write to ask for standard solution for the problem – to include malware description to Avast virus database.
I am using the version of Avast antivirus I payed money for, so I’ve considered I have the right to make a posting to this forum.
OK, I fully understand your point of view and hopefully the upload of the virus sample will lead to an av update for this malware asap.
