A couple of days ago I got infected by the ise32 virus/trojan. As far as I understand it, it travels via portable devices. I've since cleaned up my system using Super Antispyware and formatted the drives, used the show hidden files and protected system files options in vista to also delete the recycler and desktop.ini files on the drives.
The problem however seems to have come back again. Now I only use the USB drive for data transfer between my PC and Laptop and both of them are clear of the ise32 virus, yet my pc got infected again. No other USB stick is used as I rely on Skydrive for accessing documents outside of home. Any ideas how this infection is spreading?
And well most importantly, Im using the latest version of AVG Free which now also has the auto removable drive scanning feature, but it has consistently failed to detect this virus. I always get the all clear. It's only after reboots when I get prompted to restore the ise32 file after logging in that I realise I've been infected. Anyone else have this problem? As far as I know the lack of anti-rootkit protection in AVG Free compared to AVG Pro shouldn't affect it's ability to detect this, even with an on demand scan.
I've used Norton 2009. It's a good product and it does protect me against that virus however it also deletes 39 registry files associated with the autorun feature so I'm left out without any autorun in vista, and no way of turning it back on without restoring the threat from the quarantine!
Please Help.
