USB Virus : New Folder.exe

“Newfolder.exe” is one of the most cunning Virus that I have come across in recent times.It makes files try launch itself. It affects the Autorun.inf file.Of all, it doesn’t get delete neither get detected by any antivirus software in including AVG, Avast, NOD32, Bit Defender, PC cilin. But EZ or Etrust Or CA antivirus delete it clean, I guess. Quick Heal Security 2008 is also a good option and I prefer using that.

Well there is another tool to delete these two buggers.I have not used this but some my friends say its a good one. Download this tool SmartAV and run it to find USB virus and ‘autorun.inf’. This tool has been designed specially for USB virus. Even you have firewall for USB and it tells you if any unauthorized access happens.

If you do not want to use any antivirus or any tool then simply do perform these steps.
1. Search for Autorun.inf/autorun.inf file in whole computer.
2.Open all the files in notepad one by one.
3.Delete all the contents inside.
4.Save the file, exit and restart the Windows.

This has worked for me, hope it will for you too ! Enjoy.
