External harddisk infected by virus

January 28th, 2020

Hi, i external harddisk of 500Gb was infected by trojan… i successfully removed tehm by avast antivirus.. but now i am having difficulties to access the harddisk directly( by clicking on the drive icon on my computer).. but while i explore it (via ctrl+E), i can access it… i guess the autorun is corrupt..
how can i solve this prob?? Can anyone help me out?
Answer #1
backup all the data and format it, that’s the best way.
or scan it w/ malwarebytes and see if you can remove it, if your unable to back up/format.

Just delete the autorun.inf file and reconnect the drive. No need for such drastic measures like that ^

Meh, it’s not a virus, it’s bloody pain in the ass unharmfull spyware.
Just turns off autorun and stuff, whilst you can enter with explore without prolems. If you want to get rid of it get Malwarebytes, and I can also recommend Malwarebyting the computers to which the external HD is connected as they also should have this spyware …

Sounds like you got a trojan on your PC itself. It’s regenerating the autorun file. avast! might not have removed the trojan completely

*
Open Task Manager and in Processes tab end explorer.exe and wscript.exe process
*
Open up File �> New Task (Run) in the Task manager
*
Type cmd and hit Enter
*
Type
del /a:h /f c:\autorun.*
*
Go to your Windows\System32 directory by typing cd c:\windows\system32
Type dir /a:h /f avp*.*
If you see any files names avpo.dll or avpo.exe or avpo.exe, use the Del /a:h /f avpo.exe
*
Open up File �> New Task (Run) in the Task manager, Type regedit
*
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
If there are any entries for avpo.exe, delete them.
Do a complete search of your registry for ntdelect.com and delete any entries you find.
*
To Restore Folder Options Settings, Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
Look at the �CheckedValue� key� This should be a DWORD key. If it isn�t, delete the key.Create a new key called �CheckedValue� as a DWORD (hexadecimal) with a value of 1. The �Show hidden files & folders� check box should now work normally.
Not my work,got this after a bit googling.
