I did manage to delete everything in the folder but not the actual folder itself.
Tried renaming the file. But it just wouldn't allow it

The error message :
Cannot rename file: Cannot read from the source file or disk

any suggestions?

Error message :
Cannot delete book 3 : Cannot find the specified file.
Make sure you specify the correct path and file name


So far I have move the file deeper into the folder to see whether it is possible to delete it.. failed.

I tried using the prompt command.. not sure whether I am doing it correctly, it fails to delete.

Any suggestions?

Ok guys... I know the last time I was here, you guys help me out. I told my sleeping partner ( spouse), that I will donate to your paypal account. So where did you guys hide your paypal donate option button>>?? REALLY??? Seriously!!! where is it??? This is a site worthwhile keeping it going...

hi guys, Just thought to let you know... I am on my last part of the hard drive on my other pc. Which found the virus and moving to reformat the drive.

Just want to drop in to say Hi and Thank you again for all you guys helping me out.

EDIT
Here is the Virus Scan results -- after I used the OTMOVEIT

C:\_OTMOVEIT\MOVEDFILES\AUTORUN.INF (Submitted)


Do I still have to reformat my hard drive again?

Thank you guys

Yup I have been there, saw the Alien Shooter game. I was too late. It looks cool.

That is a cool site. Thanks for the link. They do have cool software there. Love it. Too many software that I wanted but no longer available.

Probably reformat the thumb drive tomorrow, when I get some time off.

Here is the log-- does it meant that it has been deleted?

I use the photoshop to "recreate" some of my photos. Aside from just touch-ups.
I am hoping to do more with these photoshop brushes that I have found - just way to cool. I plan to use these to tattoo someone's forehead,eyes and arm ( on the pictures of course!), when I don't really care for body tattoos but love it, if it is just temporary. --check out. www.designfruit.com  He has some tribal brushes called Tasty Tattoo.

The best part is I hope to learn how to do digital cosmetic on someone !! www.photoshopkillertips.com
check out the how to make someone's nose bigger or smaller or even older/younger. That is way cool.

Is it safe to export the files out from the USB flash drive?

I think reformatting its a good idea.

Hi guys

I finally scan my thumb drive -- yes  VIRUS!!! Here is the result from the scan (F Secure scan)
I did the recommended cleaning.

According to the actions produced, there is no action done at all, just submitted the virus for reporting as per the above.
I couldn't find the AUTORUN.INF file to delete it.
Should I run the onmoveit program again? and use the Hijack program again?

Thanks

Yup I have installed all the anti virus, zone lab,spyware,windows defender... I think that is all I have installed for protection. I have updated the definitions and scan the drives.


Programs that I need

Photoshop
Photoshop Elements
Illustrator

Those are my heavy weights. I'm ditching all my feather weights program like skype etc.

Thanks I just did it - downloaded the SP2.  WHOOO HOOOOOO...Holy macaroni! It works!! Thank you! NO more error messages! You guys are the best!!!

I manage to save all my important documents,back up all the data I wanted and erase & survive!!!

I got to bookmark all these sites you sent me to scan my whole system. I can't believe it, it takes more than one program to monitor those virus, malware.. etc

My poor ram is overworking. I have not even downloaded the heavyweights yet!! - Photoshop,Photoshop elements,illustrator,PowerDirector.Any recommendation on how to minimized it? I have 752 ram. Now currently running at 299 ram - the bare minimum.

Tommorrow I am going to scan thumb drive. I hope everything goes well

You guys deserve all the hugs & kisses. 

Thank for helping. Just wondering any idea how to remove the error message I have been getting?
Its really annoying

--Essexboy, thank for helping out. If I am single I would have thought that might be kinky! 

I tried looking for the AUTORUN.INF file on my external hard drive (E). I have check on the unhide all files to view all hidden files. I couldn't find it. -- Any way I could trace it?

Click on the auto cleaning - as you suggested.
The error message still persist. Any cure for this error message?

I google the Virus name and found this forum -- so called cure for it. Just want to double check with you guys (you are the experts) -- Do you think this would work? By the way,I have no idea what he is talking about. Check out the post by AUTOMAN

http://www.yournav.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=8333&st=0&gopid=72413&


This is interesting, howcome my anti virus couldn't find the malware/virus...
I scan my whole system, but not my thumb drive. I decided not to plug in my thumb drive until all these are resolve.
What's your comments?
