Memory Stick Virus

Kwo — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 08:17:07 +0000

One of my friends’ computer has believed to be infected by a virus. Whenever he put memory stick to the computer, following files appeared in the stick :

1)autorun.inf
2)squxe.exe
3)xnvjmz.exe

These files can be deleted manually.

But when he put that memory stick or other stick, the files appeared again in the stick.

It is assumed that the virus itself is hiding in the harddisk.

Please help me how to solve this virus problem.

P.S. he is using SAV

Awaiting your earliest replies.
