Hi, something began to create on every USBFlash Drive I plug into my laptop a separate invisible folder with no name, an invisible file called “volumeInformation.exe” and a shortcut (connected with the .exe file) with the name of the USB Drive.
As soon I plug in a flash drive into my laptop it moves all the data on the flash drive into the hidden folder. If I want to see the data I must click on the shortcut icon.
I thought it was a new security measure. But now I think it is a Trojan probably. Avast was not able to recognize it. I have uninstalled the avast antivirus.
My computer is doing the same thing every time I plug in any USB flash drive.

I have also uploaded the suspicious file volumeInformation.exe to virustotal.com and It says… to be more precise, 4 Antiviruses (Antiy-AVL, E SET - NOD 32, Invicea and Jingmin) from 57 in total say it is a Trojan.
As I understand MCShield neutralized it only on a flash drive. What can I do now to remove the Trojan from my Windows 7 (64 bit) system?
Is it able to remove the Troyan from the system? Than I will try.
No but it will create random files/folder as a trap for ransomware, and many that install this program miss this info and think it is malware files/folders
I suggest you go back to instuctions and run the two first programs in the guide
Malwarebytes
Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
These logs (3) you attach, not copy paste
A malware expert will then be notified and assist you, he may not be online before tomorrow
What is really interesting is the age of the sample and the detection ratio on VT makes anyone wonder how many more of this are still around infecting users.
What does FYI mean? You mean the website virustotal.com, where I have uploaded the malicious file “volumeInformation.exe”, submitted it to Avast, to ad it to new virus definitions?
