Broken In
I've searched google on this but nothing helpful came up. There is a thread on this forum about it but it's not very helpful either.
So i'm hoping if there is any updated info on this problem...
I got this malware from a usb drive.
symptoms-
i have a folder icon that is an exe file on my desktop called 'chrome' and another called 'new folder'. they are both exactly 310 kb in size.
i have the same two folders/exe files in the root of all my drives.
besides this i have folders/exe files in every folder and sub-folder on my computer with the same name as the parent folder. They are all 310 kb.
the folders/exes on the desktop/root cannot be deleted unless i stop a process called chrome.exe in task manager... but they come back after deletion.
the other folder/exes can be deleted and stay deleted for some time, but reappear on reboot.
avg 8.5, updated today, does not identify a virus.
any suggestions would be welcome.
thanks.
