    This is so insanely simple, the guy is a genius!

    In the worst case, one of these flash drive trojans can prevent access to any drive on your machine. Click on the drive and nothing happens, or a warning comes up that the drive is not accessible or some weird piece of software (like notepad) runs.

    The way a flash drive spreads a virus or trojan actively (as opposed to just copying infected files which the method above does not stop), is by the autorun.inf file being set to run the trojan on the flash. That then infects the whole machine and any drive connected also gets infected. In the mean time the trojan can go off and download hundreds of other payloads. Good luck to clean that lot.

    One way of stopping it is to turn off autorun properly (not easy – most solutions don’t work in special cases) or do what this does.

    Just delete the autorun.inf and add a folder with the same name that is locked. So the autorun file can never be written. Then do that to the other drives on your machine and you are 100% protected against any other flash drive.

    Why didn’t I think of that?? Duh!

    Maynard, yes bot variants are good. But autorun.inf folder is more simple and can to protect your Flash drives.

    I have downloaded this several times – to desktop and also downloads. Both open to a “do you trust this program” screen, I click Allow, and nothing else happens. I have Vista with a virus coming up as ‘Worm/Autoit.yry’ that had been solved beforehand(by someone else). I just used my USB drive (previously infected before fixing) and now it has same-named apps dated 19.10.08 in all the folders. Curious at first, I clicked on one, but nothing happened and I can’t delete it now. I can’t open task manager. What do you suggest?

    you link is a trojan…..

  28. Patrik
    ― May 15, 2009 - 8:05 pm  Reply

    Tec, this is false alert. Some security programs will incorrectly identify this tool as potentially or actually malicious due to some of it’s components. Although these files can be used maliciously, they are an integral part of the fix and I recommend you disable your antivirus.
