Save the file to your desktop and include its content in your next reply.
It is often transfered through a removable device.
Do you already have McShield installed ?
If not I suggest you do so and wait for further guidance from one of the malware removal experts.
hey twinheaded… how come everytime i scan my usb, i still get the same result with mcshield that it detected a malware and deleted it? then i refresh a few times and a shortcut then appears… i tried formatting my usb several times and still get the same result with mcshield…
nope… i didnt plug it into any other pc because i want to make sure it was clean first before i use it again. But i cant seem to clean it with the mcshield…
