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…

TwinHeadedEagle · 2015-07-13T15:49:08.000Z

Did you plugin this USB into another PC?

system · 2015-07-13T15:51:13.000Z
