Giovanni Magliulo How to remove Worm Generic3.HNY from my USB drive
Hi, whenever I insert my USB drive in my PC, it doesn't open automatically and when I open the folder I see that there are only two files in it: an autorun.txt and a link "Removable disk 4 GB" on which, after clicking, the AVG antivirus detects the presence of a Worm Generic3.HNY. I click on "Protect", but every time I resubmit the USB, the two files and the virus reappear and any other files present on it is hidden. How can I permanently remove this Worm? Thanks for any answers
Hi, I tried to format flash drive, but the problem resurfaced always and now the flash drive is demagnetized.
So I tried with another flash drive and files regularly are on it without being detected any virus. Thanks everyone for the help
