|
|
Hey guys, I know long time no see but I need your help. Let me take you on the back story: For awhile after getting my netbook for school, I didn't have anything better to protect it other than window's basic crap since I was confident enough to let it be unprotected just a short while so I can finish moving the necessary thing on it.
After finally deciding to place a cover and remove anything that was able to get into it, it turns out that not not everything was removed or restored since a week later after finally having the use of the flash drive, I discovered something.
Main Point:
At first I notice that the icon isn't a usb flash drive but instead the icon of a regular folder. I tried to open it but I'm unable too. So I jump into conclusion that it was infected. So I ran a full sweep along also specifically on the flash drive then I used the Flash Disinfector and later on I reformatted it incase both didn't pick it up.
But even with that I couldn't fix the problem, sure after using the disinfector I was able to access it but only on this netbook and the icon is still a regular folder. And on some others, it wouldn't even be able to recognize it such as on my dad's

| Already tried that, the two prob that I have is that on some rigs it wouldn't recognize it so it wouldn't show up on the accessible drives and the second thing is that I can't open it if it do happen to be recognized
