Dear Sir,

With greetings,
Yours faithfully,

thank you guys… i cant believe so many people have the antivir i saw angela comment a year ago and i just got it last week and ive never got infected and this thing is been around for so long without me knowing is incredible im gonna try this cause im getting too many popups of goggle in new windows and redirects to sites that have this close option that is tricky …and view certificate ..etcetc also i get so many warnings from malwarebytes of being attacked when i see a java flash driven site or anything with flash i think …i feel java and flash are making my pc vulnerable
Can you please make it compatible with Windows 7, that would be a huge help for me.
Peace
Chris, it should work.
Help needed urgently.
I have a Café Internet, and although I reinstalled all my PCs a month ago, protected by Avast, Panda USB Vaccine (PC vaccinated), plus Deep Freeze, etc. from the beginning; all of them are already infected by bunch of bugs. I keep getting rid of them with Malwarebytes and Spybot, but they come back on reboot. How did they get infected anyway? I wonder if a user intentionally installed those bugs.
How can I get rid of them and protect my computers for good silently, that is, by applying the vaccine automatically, without having to execute Flash Disinfector before inserting the Flash Memory. If someone wants to infect the PCs, won’t apply the vaccine manually. I am convinced that my computer get infected by all the USB flash drives inserted daily.
By the way, does Flash Disinfector clean an infected computer and how? Or i have to run other cleaners?
I am confused with the concept Flash Drive. I don’t know when you are talking about a Flash Memory stick or a USB port/drive. Does Flash Desinfector clean the Flash memory stick or the USB port, or both?
So, if I installed Flash Disinfector it will clean all the bugs on my PC?
Can someone explain the difference?
Thanks for your timely reply in advance.
Fiantella, you can use Flash Disinfector to protect a computer drives. Also a good idea – to disable autorun autorun feature to prevent malware from spreading.
This is the best solution for now.
This is a good solution uptill now
Thank you….

ansi, 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.
Thanks for providing me the method. My headaches will now stopped.
Is there any chance you will be making this compatible with 64 bit systems??? I’m running windows 7 64 bit and while I think it would work on the 32 but version of the system, I’m getting the sense it’s incompatible with the 64 bit system. I’m in the middle of trying to disinfect my brother’s computer and need to use this to check if the Flash-drive I’ve been using to go between my clean pc and his infected one is still clean. (his pc is VERY badly infected :/)
Mia, no any chance 🙁

Hi!
I can’t download flash disinfector! Can’t do it through the link you posted nor through any other link I found in the Google. I’m using Google Chrome: does it have anything to do with this? Should I use the Internet explorer?
Thanks in advance
Joana, try Internet Explorer or Firefox.
