A good tip: If you hold down "shift" while inserting the pen drive, the autorun.inf file will not execute, meaning that Disk Knight should not be able to run from an infected pen drive.
"No Disk" Its not a virus........ Its ur disk problem . . . .
Not big problem but just simply annoying. But is big problem once your pendrive can't open to read all the files inside. Is not going to help even if you format it. My usb pendrive was infected by Disk Knight several times. I had a laptop with avast antivirus installed. I plugin and it auto detect Disk knight as a virus and remove it immediately from my usb pendrive.From my understanding, Avast is not a recommended anti-virus from Microsoft and the opposite, Disk knight is probably NOT consider as a virus under recommended anti-virus like panda, avg, Kaspersky, McAfee, etc..... Here is the list: http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/49500So is simple, just install avast or remove it using any PC or laptop with another anti-virus (not necessary Avast). If you are going to backup your usb pendrive on your hard disk and format it, your pendrive is still infected with disk knight once you plugin.Answerto remove it from usb drive do not open your usb before you do thisopen command prompt and type "{your usb drive letter}:" press enterthen type "attrib -r -a -s -h knight.exe" press enterthen type "del knight.exe" press enter
You will have to buy some Anti Virus software on a Disk like McAfee for example. You can then scan your whole computer and remove the virus.
RAM is cleaned when you power off your computer. Your virus is not on the RAM, it is on the hard disk and moves from there into RAM when you start up your computer. You need to remove the virus from the hard disk and then reboot it to clean the RAM.
Make sure that you have anti-virus software on your computer. Get the anti-virus software to scan your hard disk. If a virus is found, the software will either remove it or quarantine it.
If you have erased the hard disk then the Trojan is gone.
Yes, if the removable disk is connected to your computer then it will be infected.
YES
The Recycler Virus takes advantage of the Windows Autorun feature in order to sneak into your computer. Since this virus copies itself to all active drives in your PC, it can eventually consume precious space. It will also try to contact other malicious sites the moment you go online so your system can slow down to a crawl. Remove this virus right away from your hard disk by running a scan. The virus will be detected and you can remove it automatically. This site is very helpful in providing detailed removal instructions: http://www.spyware-fix.net/remove-recycler-virus.html
pls tell some idea to take backup of virus infeced hard disk
Ccleaner is one of the good software program to remove unwanted and temp files. Another anti-virus program software like MacAfee and trend micro are good at keeping your system safe from Trojan horse or virus threat.
You'll need to boot from something else, a rescue disk, the original installation disk or another disk that lets you repair the damage caused by the virus.
