Hi, I’m not sure how I got this virus but I think after I use my external hard disk on my friend’s computer. I’ve tried Adwcleaner, Malwarebytes, HitmanPro, and SuperAntiSpyware (all free versions) but it keeps popping out every 5 minutes or so. Sometimes when I plugged in the usb or when I’m trying to run an app.
I tried running MCShield but it said my hard disk is clean… there’s a shortcut of the hard disk in the hard disk. All of my files are in the shortcut. I also can’t run Google Chrome but I’ve already uninstalled it.
I really don’t know what else to do except re-install windows and it’s my last resort. Can somebody help me please??
Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

One more thing, theres a $RECYCLE.BIN folder in the hard disk, can I delete it? It’s not actually a hidden folder. I’m afraid it’s gonna mess up something. and so sorry for the stupid question
