[Solved] Micro SD Card Is Infected with Virus

Why can't you just install an anti-virus program on the laptop? There are many free versions.

 

Or you can use ESET Online scanner and scan the SD card that way.

 

Run Malwarebytes on laptop Umar, we haven't seen a real virus in years so an antimalware program is really what you want and run it with the card in the laptop so it can scan that also.

 

All good ideals. If you need help there's a program for this. Let us know if you still need help. I'm working now and don't have it with me...

 

I don't think you're going to find such a program. For removable media, that has to be manually checked (box ticked) to add it to the scan.

In windows 8/8.1/10....Defender will do that, but you have to manually tick the box to be added in the scan and same for MSE if using 7 or below.

 

I have a small suggestion if the virus was intended to infect your PHP files I will try to change the extension to HTML hoping with a possibility of the virus not working in the HTML and then scan it with an antivirus you could do that by using your phone which was a good idea being an android I HOPE I will help you good luck Omar

 

There's a program but I need to ask the author the last update before I post it here. I'm in a hurry now just give me until sat.

 

Flash Disinfector.exe by sUBs was the tool I had in mind...It's for XP and when ComboFix was created by the same author. He gave all his attention to Cf...What was recommend for a Flash Drive Scanning Tool is Dr.Web CureIt.

• Dr.Web CureIt Click here
  
• Choose Custom Scan after the Express Scan has finished to add your usb or external drive to the scan.

 

Good job I was wondering why that wasn't the first thing you did actually but I guess I thought there might be something on the card you needed. I should have asked that.
I don't understand why it could not remove the problems though because free or not should not affect that. The other thing to ask is what kind of protection are you running that this happened in the first place umar as that most certainly needs to change.

 

Right. Unless these infections/ worm virus were un-Curable.

 

Ah, yes that is true. But wouldn't you expect to see "cannot remove" or something like that?

 

I've never heard of that software and I'd be a bit iffy about using it as well. When using that software did you make any changes to the drives it scanned....pointing it to just scan the SD card that was inserted in you laptop?

Was there any thing important on the SD card that needed to be saved first before the format decision?

 

Hey everyone hold on here...Kenny I am so sorry but we are all posting in the Malware Forum where only Security Moderators are allowed to post please stop at once I am as guilty as the rest of you but we should not be as I didn't notice either this is so embarassing!!!! So everyone here except for Umar and Kenny please lets leave this post now!

 

If I remember correctly, Umar didn't post in Malware Removal originally.
This thread has been moved to Malware removal, so you can't blame those trying to help.
They prob didn't realize the thread had been moved.
No post to that effect till now.

 

I was thinking we're in "General Malware And Security" until today...... Okay, let us see what we are dealing with.

Where are the files you copied them from?

Can you copy and paste and post the contents of the log from Dr.Web?

 

I am certain you are right Dougie but we still need to stop. I wasn't blaming anyone Hell I am in here as well and didn't notice!
