Protect Your PC And Pen Drive From Virus

Many of our PC's or laptop's normally get attacked by viruses coz of pendrives or other USB devices.

And my PC .........it never runs more than 2 months!!! ;)

Some Virus like Ravmon Virus , Heap41a worm which are not detected by anti virus normally spreads mostly by the Pen Drives .

You can protect your PC from them by just following the simple steps below :

* Connect your Pen Drive or USB drive to your PC

* This pop's up a dialogue window prompting to choose among the options.
Just don't choose any of them and click Cancel

* Now go to Start–> Run ==> cmd

* Go to My Computer ==> Check the Drive letter of your USB drive
(E.g. if it is written Kingston (H :), then H: will be the drive letter)

* In the Command Prompt ==> Type the drive letter: ==> Enter

* Type dir/w/o/a/p ==> Enter

* You will get a list of files. In the list , search if anyone of the following
exists :


Autorun.inf

New Folder.exe

Bha.vbs

Iexplore.vbs

Info.exe

New_Folder.exe

Ravmon.exe

RVHost.exe or any other files with .exe Extension .
*

If you find any one of the files above ---

* Run the command attrib -h -r -s -a *.* ==> Enter.

* Delete each File using the following Command :

del filename ( E.g del autorun.inf )

It's all done!!!!

Now just scan your USB drive with the Anti-virus to ensure that your Pen Drive
free of Virus.
