Unified Lanshop Owners Portal

lately my lanshop has been infected by this USB virus which changes the contents of the USB drives into shortcuts.
naka deepfreeze naman ako so every restart, nawawala naman.
ang problema halos lahat na yata ng mga customers ko na gumagamit ng USB meron nang ganyang virus sa kanilang USB, kaya minsan nai-infect yung mga customers na sumusunod.
pinagsabihan ko na ang bantay ko na everytime matapos ang isang customer, restart na lang ang PC.
ang weird thing is, hindi ito nade-detect ng anti-virus ko na eset smart security, na updated naman ang virus signatures.
search ko sa google, walang masyadong information about this virus.
meron ba naka experience sa inyo ng ganito?

ako po, sa isang pc lang, ang ginawa ko plug ko yung USB Drive dun sa pc na infected niya, tpos noob killer, tpos restart yan, after restart delete the remaining traces and scan with malwarebytes and updated eset av trial, tpos ok na ^_^

Use Panda USB Vaccine to stop the infection from spreading.

To restore your customer USB files to original state use this command

attrib -s -h -r f:/*.* /s /d (f: stands for your driver letter)

yeah, i already was able to recover the files using the attrib command.
the annoying thing is, this virus cannot be detected until it's too late.
weird thing is, the anti-virus community doesn't really give importance to this, as proof on the limited articles found on the net about this virus.
all i can find are solutions on how to recover the files after they have been infected already.

Doesn't really matter what it is. it's still an autorun.inf launched virus. very easy to remove and prevent infections. never just rely on your antivirus, never.

baka expired na yung ESET Smart Security.

thanks Bien, you are right.

but still, this is a pretty old virus, and therefore the antivurs makers should've had a defense against it by now, it's quite surprising they don't.

at dmateo: updated everyday ang antivirus ko, that's one of the things i make sure everyday.

nangyari din yan sakin kahapon... nainfect yung external HD ko..
