New Folder.exe Virus
« on: March 12, 2010, 12:14:02 pm »
Does anyone know how to remove this virus, What it basically does it, Disable Task manager, Takes processor memory, and the main thing is it keeps creating exe's which looks like folder, For example if there is a folder called "YTKPRO" inside that folder it creates another folder is an executable file and if you double click on it nuthing happens, it will just give error. This type of virus comes mostly through Pen drivers etc. Im hoping that someone could really help me removing this. Thank you.
