usb virus

this is possible virus from an infected flashdisk that avast didnt recognize as a threat

what it does :

hides all your files in the flashdisk, leaving just a shortcut with <your_flashdisk_name_here>.lnk that targets %SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe \\\\{E5500DA0-2A27-481B-9D16-AD532A4DDBE0}.{5B0FCBB8-20D5-4BDA-9D74-A8463B576644},YmlVUTSCBA9NMLKa
*hidden files cannot be shown through folder options, i personally unhide them with a usb antivirus
if you open that shorcut, it will infect your pc with that thing, making every flashdisk attached on your pc do the things above
oftenly you cant access all your hidden files on the flashdisk

my pc is not infected, just hoping avast could improve it’s service with this

this thing is just annoying when you dont have a usb antivirus, you cant access the files, hope that avast can solve this thing in the future

**i submitted that to avast lab, just explaining here with more details
