Recently, my pen drive just got attacked by trojan virus worm. The drive is infected after I used computer in the presentation lecture room. (hampeh tul!) The virus seems to convert all folders in the drive to be shortcuts (WTH). When the shortcuts is being clicked, the OS will tell u that the link is incorrect or something like that. While I am so worried bcoz all my papers, homeworks, notes, lab works, etc are in the pen drive. Alhamdulillah, after cooking ikan masak asam rebus, I got the ilham to find the solution (all praise to Allah!) Here are my way of doing it.
B4 inserting your pen drive to my/your computer, make sure you disable the autorun ability (Elok gak koorg buat ni, so in the future, insyaallah, with Allah's will, can protect your computer from virus)
notes: As we insert a pendrive to computer,window will scan and check is there have 'autorun.inf' file and then write into 'mountpoint2' registry,'mountpoint2' will amend the act to open a disk or pop up menu.Although you already set up ' disable auto play' ,use right click or use 'explore' to open disk,the result still will run 'virus .exe'. Therefore, follow these steps:
1.START ->RUN ->Key in 'regedit' to open registry.
2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion \Explorer\MountPoints2,
3.Right click 'mountpoints2' and select 'permission'
4.Then click 'Advance',uncheck 'inherit from parent the permission entires that apply to child objects.Include these with entires explicity defined here'.
5.Click 'remove'.'Yes' and 'ok'.
Now,even you insert a pendrive with virus and your computer couldn't affected. Insyaallah.
Now, that part is settled. Next is the crucial one. How to save the files?? (c my notes on When your hdd or pen drive got virus.. part 2 ..soon)
