I have a virus. I've only just recognized it but I suspect I've been passing this virus on to all of my computers via infected flash cards. How can I get rid of it from my computers and flash drives. I also fond it on my brand new external HD. I find it in the form of shahadeen jpg. Could it also be infecting my Mp3 player?

This is the virus
Reva.vbs
VBScript. Will try to spread itsself to every time drive in your computer including drive flash the disk. In drive was infected will be gotten file reva.vbs, autorun.inf, and shaheedan.jpg. Moreover, it will then change the page default from the Explorer Internet in order to head to the site [mod edit]

Do a low-level format on your drives. Google it for appropriate software.

Download a free 1 month trial of kaspersky from www.kaspersky.com and clean it off that way.

NOD 32 is widely regarded as the best antivirus. Kaspersky is good but NOD is better.

Well, interesting. I'm going to try out NOD after my current version of Kaspersky expires.

I find Kaspersky good but I don't like the false positives. NOD claims they have no false positives. We will see.


Anyhow, I looked at that file and it looks like Avira and NOD rank very similar. I didn't know it was such a good antivirus.

Personally, if I were to pay for one, I'd buy Kaspersky in Korea. The reason is that Kaspersky gives full Korean support and the price is much better here. You can buy a fully legal 2 year subscription of Kaspersky Internet Security for 35,000 won if you know where to look. The box is Korean, but if you download the English trial from their site, you can use the Korean key to activate the English. My wife's computer worked like this.

Avira is prohibitively expensive (costs in Euro) as is NOD32.

Yeah, I know there are torrents, but you're opening yourself up to some serious exploits if you use them for AV software.

There are some good free AV programs, too:

1. AVG
2. Avast
3. Comodo (I'm testing this one right now)

I have the most obnoxious something or other ever. A noticed that when extracting a couple zip files I downloaded, the exe files wouldn't unzip. I tride a few different zip utilities and none of them could detect anything wrong with the zip files. Thinking maybe they were corrupt, I plopped them onto a flash drive and brought them to work where I easily, successfully unzipped them and plopped the files back onto the drive. I got home and plugged the drive into the computer, went into the directories to copy the files to the computer and watched in horror as the exes disappeared before my very eyes.

I've blasted the crap out of my computer with every freeware spyware, adware, virus, malware detector/destroyer out there to no avail. I've found a couple references to disappearing exes on some anti-virus forums, but it's usually exes that have something to do with anti-virus software that are the victims. Does anyone have a solution, or had to deal with this themselves?

I uninstalled a certain piece of pirated software and the problem went away.
