Hi there.
New user here as well.
My problem is that every usv device that I insert on my PC, is presented as a shortcut, on which the path stated is “system32”. I have used the steps as noted on another post and i would like some help. I have attached the .txt files after the use of the following programs:
Hi I am not sure if this is malware or a system error
Download MCShield to your desktop and install
It will initially run a scan and show the result as a toaster by the system clock
Then in the control centre select scanner and tick unhide items on flash drives
Malware was found. I deleted the file suggested by MCShield. No stortcut this time, which is good enough by itself, but the pdf file i had in my usb device was a folder?!? with no name at all. When i opened that folder the .pdf appeared as usual. But due to the appearance of the folder thing, i suspect that not everything is quite good yet. Any suggestions? What should i do when I insert usb devices (My job is about printing documents etc. so everyday I insert all kind of devices on my PC)
