Thanks it worked with a changed version

Always try to make a password like this, containing One capital letter, number and symbol. Very hard to break.

there's many online tools available for checking password strength .. make use of those like :

*www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/pc-security/password-checker.aspx
*howsecureismypassword.net/
*www.passwordmeter.com/

Password Strength Checker

Lastpass does that job for me.

Reboot it

I just inserted a pendrive with virus (folders showing as shortcut) but surprisingly bit defender scanned it and showed no threat. It was up to date. The same thing happened with avg also. Why aren't they detecting it as virus?

A reason may be they actually just are shortcuts?

PS: switch to avira.

if that's the case then even Avira or for that matter any AV will do nothing.btw i am assuming bitdefender is paid version & if that's so then no point switching to avira as both are good though bitdefender performs a little better in most tests.

bitdefender is surely better than avira for sure.

the virus might already get deleted. whenever you get a pendrive with autorun virus , run this command as administrator before opeing it just to get security for your files
attrib -h -s -r -a /s /d H:\*.* where H denotes ..........

No they aren't Just shortcuts, all the folders name are there but changed to shortcut. The files are still there, I can access them by typing the folder name in the address Bar.

Nope, it's free version. I can't use paid AV till I start earning.!!

I'm using usb disk security, it detects and deletes autorun virus. Is it sufficient or still I need to enter those cmds?

 

[whitestar_999]

do as rijinpk1 mentioned.you are only seeing shortcuts of folders not actual folders with files.just replace H with letter of your usb drive.

 

[dashing.sujay]

Sorry guys, I misread bit defender as avg, don't know how; that's why the recommendation.

i dont encourage using bitdefender (or any antivirus) + usb disk security ,because if an autorun virus is installed on your pendrive, both bitdefender and usb disk security detects and they try to block that file. what will happen if two security softwares try to access the same file simultaneously? conflicts..they do more harm than what you would expect from them. so better avoid usb disk security.

Usb disk security doesn't block/delete autorun virus. It just detects And informs. So I never had any problem in that case.
