Best Answer

Disk Knight is also called

Virus.Win32.AutoRun.fb (Kaspersky),

Generic VB.b (McAfee),

W32.SillyDC (Symantec),

TR/VB.NIM (Avira),

Mal/DiskNite-A (Sophos)

Run a good antivirus software to get it removed

Free Anti Virus

AVG Free Edition 8.0.100

Avast! Home Edition 4.8.1201

AntiVir Personal 8.1.00.295

Trial Version of Commercial Anti virus software

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 8.0.0.357

NOD32 AntiVirus 3.0.650

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.

How do you remove disk knight in usb?

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

How could i remove recycler from my hard disk?

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
