Virus Problem!

[Guest susan]

Hi all,

 

I have problem with Viruses. In my External Hard Disk Drive got virus

after I scaned it with Kaspersky (6.0.2.614) it seems virused have

been killed.

 

But it has got something strange when I copy a Folder from Local Drive

(C:) and past it in my Ex-HDD after a few second it dissapear from my

Ex-HDD, then I copy and past it again and it ask for replace because

that Folder is already exist but I can not see it in my Ex-HDD.

 

Anyone knows with this problem can you help me, please?

 

Thanks in advance,

I like Kasperksy, but since you didn't mention what "viruses" you had/have,

there's no way I can feel sure your computer is clean. Go through the

malware removal steps at the following link to be sure. Do not skip the

prep work.

If after you've done this the computer is really 100% virus/malware-free,

the unnamed viruses may have damaged your operating system. Test by

attaching a different external hard drive or device and seeing if the

problem persists. If it does, then you know it isn't linked to the original

device and you should repair your operating system. If the problem only

occurs with the original device, back up the data on it - after scanning it

with Kaspersky using updated definitions - and format it.

 

To repair the operating system:

 

1. Start>Run>sfc /scannow [enter]

You may need to have your XP install CD handy.

 

2. If that doesn't work, try a Repair Install.
