Question

Just want to ask if you know how to remove the worm from the Flash Drive. If you know about this, please tell me how to remove the worm from the flash drive. Thank you.

Answer

I wrote before a blogpost that talks about removing the worm in a flash drive. Read that article by following the link and follow the instruction I wrote. However, newbies might consider the instruction very technical but you need to learn to do those things.

First, you can try to use antivirus softwares in deleting or removing all the worms and virus found in your flash drive. But you need to get the updated virus definition of that softwares to ensure that the virus or worms residing in your flash drive will be detected by the antivirus software and be removed.

If your antivirus software couldn’t remove the worms in your flash drive, then try this:

1. Click START then click RUN. Type cmd or command.
2. Then a DOS window will appear. On the command prompt which is shown with c: type the drive letter of the flash drive. If you don’t know the drive letter of your flash drive, just open the MY COMPUTER and then look for “Removable Disk (Letter)“. The “Letter” is the Drive letter of the flash drive. If you found it this way: “Removable Disk (D:)“, then the drive letter of the flash drive is D:. So, in the command prompt, type d: then press ENTER.
3. So the command prompt will look like this: d: in which d: stands for the drive letter of the flash drive. Then type dir /a and press ENTER.
4. The list of files in your flash drive will be shown. Look for the file names: Autorun.inf, Ravmon.exe, New Folder.exe, svchost.exe, Heap41a, or any other exe file which may be suspicious.
5. If you’ll find any of the files, then you’re sure now that your flash drive is infected.

So, what should we do to remove the files? Just follow this:

1. On the command prompt type attrib *.* -s -r -h and press ENTER. With this command all files’ attribute will be changed. Now you can delete the file you are suspecting.
2. In deleting the files, you can simply delete it through the DOS command or you can use the Windows way of deleting the files.
