How to remove 'new folder.exe' virus in pendrive.
Everybody use pendrive and obviously face problem. I have faced so many virus using my pendrive. Source is my unsecured college lab and others who use internet at home and download virus unknowingly and spread all over through their pen drive. Commonly known USB virus are ‘Autorun.inf’ which makes files try launch itself. “Newfolder.exe” which is most cunning of all, it doesn’t get delete neither get detected by any antivirus software in including AVG, Avast, NOD32, Biddefender, PC cilin. But EZ or Etrust Or CA antivirus delete it clean. I guess how it identifies that virus in my comp. I scanned my pendrive in my college system which has Etrust but it didn’t identify. See to that your antivirus is upto date, else it is of no use. Well there is another tool to delete these two buggers. Download this tool SmartAV and run it to find USB virus and ‘autorun.inf’. this tool has been designed specially for USB virus. Even you have firewall for USB and it tells you if any unauthorized access happens. You can search for such a tool in google. But i feel SmartAV works properly. I prefer SmartAV only as a second option because First option is ETrust antivirus. Disable autorun once for all.

Etrust has finally started deleting the newfolder virus
But i think SmartAV will be very handy indeed.

Yes, it a damn annoying virus. My college labs are flooded with this virus. The easy way to avoid is “Never double click on a pen drive”. I once got this in my system. Luckily, i had Kaspersky which identified and deleted it.

I heard Kaspersky only identifies it and doesn’t delete it. Fine now with kaspersky then.

It must be Arun’s work the famous Virus guy

Definitely it is all because of Poochi Arun, the father of all viruses. He develops them at home and grows them in his pen drive.

Ya i think both Vinod and Marc are correct….. We should develop a new software to prevent us from the Arun pen drive viruses. What is the name of the virus dude?

Disable autorun
1. Open Windows Explorer by pressing the Windows + “e” key.
2. Right-click the desired CD-ROM and select Properties from the menu.
3. Select the AutoPlay tab.
4. Select each item from the drop down list and for the Action to perform, select “Take no action” to disable autorun, or pick the apporpriate action to take if enabling autorun.
5. Select OK.
** Do the same to disable the autorun for pendrive,by choosing the appropriate device.
If this doesnt work tell me, i know an optional method.
