| 1347411 | 2013-06-29 02:56:00 | I've had this file on two usb sticks - when it is deleted all else disappears. Yet when you click on properties it shows how much of the drive is used. Any help greatly appreciated |

| 1347415 | 2013-07-01 03:44:00 | Ok I'll start again. On two usb sticks I downloaded and transfered some games. Both sticks showed all the games until they were reconnected to another pc. They only showed a movie file called 'x', of zero bytes in size. I deleted this file and reconnected the sticks, they both show nothing - but if you check their properties - it shows that there is usage on the stick. Got me baffled - any ideas ?????? |

| 1347418 | 2013-07-05 06:48:00 | Update This is actually the W32/VBNA -x worm. After downloading and running latest avast, several problems were found and deleted. Avast then recommended a reboot and deep scan. Problem pc now no longer gets past the HP invent screen before trying a reboot again. Also will not allow safe mode. Help please Pc is running xp pro. Regards Shaun |

| 1347419 | 2013-07-05 06:51:00 | I would create a new thread on the malware problem as you may not attract the right help with the current thread title. :) | Jen (38) | ||
| 1347420 | 2013-07-05 07:22:00 | Looks like you can get that by not keeping windows up to date. Looks like this is also called w32.changeup (www.symantec.com). Its an autorun worm and spreads through / infects USB / removable drives. And it may install a well-known file-sharing application called Emule Since it wont boot normally or into safe mode, you may have to download the Kaspersky (support.kaspersky.com)or AVG rescue (www.avg.com) ISO (and burn it to CD), or the files for a USB flash drive. Then boot from one of them Whatever you do, if you're using a USB flash drive, DON'T plug it into anything else |
