Since this morning, I've been facing a peculiar problem: Bitdefender keeps giving me an alert every minute about a virus in the user - roaming - Microsoft Office folder. I've already made a thread on the BitD forum:
Bitdefender Continously Showing Virus Alert For Same File. - Bitdefender Forum
If anyone here has the time, please read that thread and make some suggestions.
The virus spreads by USB drive, where it creates shortcuts. I had connected my USB drive to a computer and when I connected it later to my laptop, it did show the shortcuts with the original files missing (hidden). But that was two day ago - so did the virus wait for two days before activating itself?
Also, I formatted the USB drive that same day. So has it become clean or can the virus survive a quick format?
