Shortcut virus CMD in C:\Windows\System32 - How to erase it???

Hi!

Yesterday I used my USB to print a document in an internet cafe. When I came back home I inserted the USB in my laptop and all my USB files turned into shorcuts.
Each time I erase the files and put new ones, they turn into shorcuts. I right-clicked one of the shortcuts, and looked at the target location, and it’s somewhere in System32, and the file in System32 that it highlights is cmd.exe
Basically, I have the same problem solved here:

http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=138715.0

but I guess each PC needs a special treatment in this matter. Thank you all for your answers :slight_smile:

PS: I won’t insert any other USB until I’m sure it’s solved.

Peruse the thread here and attach the following logs –

[ol]- OTL.txt

  • Extras.txt
  • aswMBR Log
  • MCShield[/ol]

A helper will be here to assist you.

I don’t get this :confused:

Maybe its not in their database yet.

Attach OTL and aswMBR logs here please.

because it is a filetype that Malwarebytes does not target?..

Done :slight_smile:
the following are OTL logs

And these are aswMBR logs

i think all malware experts are in bed now so it will be some hours before they are online…

Did you tell mbam to scan the usb?
And get mcshield. ( http://www.mcshield.net/ )

the cleaning guys does this in a certain order Eddy … and Malwarebytes does not detect this if it is a VBS worm

I’m doing this before I go to sleep, that’s why I post so late :wink:

While I analyze your log, read my reply here and attach the MCShield log. :slight_smile:

MCS log

Oh yes, I’m sorry! I was so angry about losing my files (all my university classes were there) so I created that directory and I put there the files I managed to save

Understood. I wanted to see if it was created under your consent or not. Proceed with my previous instructions.

yes, thank you! I’m in step 2. I was wondering what will happen with my USB driver, is there any way to save it too?

Well, step 3 is not finished yet. But while I was waiting, this appeared suddenly from nowhere and then disappeared (watch jpg file attached)

PS: I’m also attaching the logs from step 1 and 2

This is the log produced by step 3

That CMD window was a normal scenario of the OTL fix. How is your system running?
