3. Close ZHP Fix

4. Download, install and run Malwarebyte which you can find on this site: 

https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/4621-malwarebytes-anti-malware/ es-anti-malware 

Ensure you make an update.

Please request a FULL system scan, which may take from 20 minutes to hours.  Do not interfere no matter how long in takes.  The creators of Malwarebyte recommend that while the tool is running that you go do something else, such as watching a rerun of Gone with the Wind or read Tolstoy's War and Peace.

If Malwarebyte restarts your system, launch it again to finish the Full scan. 

When the scan is completed, delete all items found.

5. Delete all of your ZHP logs, generate a  new one and upload the new one on Speedy share.  If you still have problems with transfering data, let me know.  

Again, do not plug any usb devices in another computer or you may spread the infection.

Well I carried out all the steps that you told but still I am having the problem of transferring files. Here's the new ZHPDiag Log link:

http://speedy.sh/5CXXq/ZHPDiag.txt

:/

Ambucias · Answer

to remove the virus and vaccinate your USB against further viruses.


Download UsbFix (créé par El Desaparecido) on your desktop. 

http://services.service-webmaster.fr/cpt-clics/clics-30453-6505.html


 If your antivirus gives an alert, ignore it and temporarily deactivate the antivirus. 

Plug in all of your usb devices (Flash drive, pen drive. External HD etc...) don't open them. 
 
Double click sur UsbFix.exe. 

Click on deletion

Let the tool work. 

At the end of the scan a report will show which you can copy and paste here.. 

The report is save at the root ( C:\UsbFix.txt ).

There you go, but I tried transferring still the problem wasn't solved.

:/

Ambucias · Answer

USB Fix removed most of the infections and there were many!

However there are still some in F and G called autorun:

Try this 1 

Click on the below link and download the file "AutorunExterminator" 
https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/5911-autorun-exterminator/ 

Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator" --> Plug your pendrive now.
 
This will remove the autorun.inf files from your pendrive and also from drives.

Ambucias · Answer

Hi

So, what's happening?

chinmayathebest · Answer

well sorry dude, I couldn't reply earlier as I was off on a vacation.

I tried AutorunExterminator but it quite didn't help. It did not find even a single autorun.inf file and whenever I connected my USB drive it stopped responding.

will be waiting for your further suggestions.

:/

Ambucias · Answer

Please, don't call me Dude, I find it disrespectful.  I could have 10 times your age.

You log definately shows autorun files in F and G.  There is an autorun.inf in F and autorun.exe in G.

This is the standard procedure to delete the Autorun.inf file 

Normally when a virus infects a windows system which causes a drive opening problem, it automatically creates a file named autorun.inf in the root directory of each drive. 

This autorun.inf file is a read only ,hidden and a system file and the folder option is also disabled by the virus. This is deliberately done by the virus in order to protect itself. autorun.inf initiates all the activities that the virus performs when you try to open any drive. 

You have to just delete this file and restart your system to correct this problem. 

Follow the set of commands below to show and delete the autorun.inf 

1. Go to Start then Run and type cmd and press enter. This will open a command prompt window. On this command prompt window type the following steps. 

2. type cd\ press enter 

3. type attrib -r -h -s autorun.inf press enter 
please note the spacing: no space between the dash and the letter & a space after the r h and s 

4. type del autorun.inf press enter 
if the PC returns a "file not found" message - check the spelling for autorun.inf 

in step 4 above, if its displays Could Not Find D:\autorun.inf thats mean the autorun.inf doesn't exist in that drive

5. if you have a d drive: type d: and press enter for d: drive partition. Now repeat steps 3 and 4. Similarly repeat step 5 for all your hard disk partition. 

Restart your system and your trouble will be fixed. Except the program that caused the problem is still in your computer. 

Make sure you are connected to the Internet. and download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware program. 
Double-click on Download_mbam-setup.exe to install the application. 
When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings. 
When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked: 
Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 
Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 
Then click Finish. MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program 
before performing a scan. If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. 
Press the OK button to close that box and continue.

Well sir,

I followed your steps to delete autorun.inf and I found something strange:

http://speedy.sh/nFsYr/Capture.PNG

In this picture I want to draw your attention towards the commands under drive F: and G:

Both say the AUTORUN.inf access is denied.

Could this be the problem?

I also want to tell you that F: is my CD ROM drive and G: is a drive that is created by a software called Daemon Tools. This mounts images and helps making copying of CDs. Kindly look into this matter and guide me if this was just me or is there something wrong in these drives.

Ambucias · Answer

Hi

Have you deleted:

G:\Razor1911\The_Sims_3_Keygen.exe ?

Ambucias · Answer

I will transfer that case to a good friend of mine.  He has more expertise than I on removing autorun.  His user name is jack4rall.

P.S. I told you they were present in F and G.

jack4rall · Answer

Hello, 

Thank you my friend "Ambucias". 

Try this 1 

The "Autorun.inf" folders are created by the USBFIX application in all the drives.  

The reason behind this is to stop the malicious autorun.inf file from getting copied  

itself to the drives. With the existing of the "Autorun.inf" folder, there is a less  

chance for the autorun.inf file with code of running malicious application to exist  

in the drive. At the end of performing the operation by clicking on the "Deletion"  

button in the USBFIX, you should have noticed a a log file. At the end of that log  

file it will mention that it had created a "Autorun.inf" folders in all the drives. The  

log file will be saved in your C drive. In case you want to remove it then enter the  

below commands. 

Here I assume you drive letter as "F". The text with bold letters  

are the commands. 

F:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf ---> Press Enter. 

This will remove the read-only, system and hidden attributes from the folder. 

F:\>del autorun.inf --> Press Enter. 

When it prompts for confirmation, press "Y" key and press "Enter". 

This will delete all the files within the folder. 

F:\>rd autorun.inf ---> Press Enter. 

This will remove the directory "Autorun.inf". 

Repeat the above commands for the remaining drives also. 

Good Luck.

Well thank you Ambucias and jack4rall for the help.

I followed your steps jack4rall but the autorun.inf folder didn't get deleted. I also tried to transfer files but still no progress. :/

Kindly help :)

chinmayathebest · Answer

Well, sir I am not getting any error message as such. It just shows the deletion progress bar completed and still the file remains.

Moreover, I somehow think that this not the thing that is causing the problem :/

Also I wanted to draw your attention to the fact that my windows clock also doesn't work properly :) 

Kindly help.

Thank you juju666 for the solution. I am sorry to inform you that it didn't help me as I am still having problems while copying files and also the Autorun.inf folder is now not accessible.

Well I also want to ask you to rather concentrate on the transfer problem instead of the vaccine folder.

Guess u haven't lost the link to the problem again, sir...

chinmayathebest · Answer

Dear Sir(s),

Many people have suggested me to COMPLETELY format my hard disk and then install fresh Windows.

What do you have to say about this.. ?? Will it solve my problem.. ??

Or have you got a better solution.

P.S. Kindly keep in mind that I will suffer a lot of data loss while formatting my HDD. If you have a better solution kindly let me know.

Warm Regards

Hello,

Try this 1

1) First check if you are able to copy the file in the safe mode.

When you switch ON your PC, keep tapping the "F8" key to get "Windows

Advanced Options"( if boot menu appears, press "Esc" key and keep tapping the

F8 key).

Select the option "Safe Mode". 

2) If the problem still exists then "Refresh your PC".

Since your PC is not performing well then you can refresh your PC without 

deleting any of your personal files or changing your settings. 

Follow the below instructions

2.1) Place the Windows 8 DVD in the drive and boot from it.

Make sure that first boot device is set to CD\DVD in CMOS settings.

2.2) When the prompt appears "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD..", just

press any key.

2.3) When the "Windows Setup", click on "Next:.

2.4) When the "Install Now" button appears, select the option "Repair your 

computer", found at the bottom left side of that window.

2.5) When the "Choose an option" window appears, select the option 

"Troubleshoot". 

2.6)  When the "Troubleshoot" window appears, select the option 

"Refresh your PC". 

Make sure you read "Here's what will happen" and then proceed with the 

on screen instructions.

Good Luck

chinmayathebest · Answer

I tried your solution jack4all but the refresh your PC setup didn't even start. a message with
"This feature (or something like that, can't remember exactly) is not available on your operating system"

I again telling you sir, I have re-installed and installed other windows several times so maybe the issue doesn't reside in the windows.

Standing by for your consideration.
