    "This volumn is dirty"...What is this?
    « on: January 01, 2010, 04:50:56 PM »
    Happy New year all...

    I have a 4 gig flashdrive and when I access it I get an antivirus message from AVG saying I have a virus namely

    "E:\autorun.inf";"Virus identified Worm/AutoRun.EK";"Infected"

     which should be moved to the vault.  I do this and then the next time I access the flashdrive, it happens all over again.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks,
    Samp

    Try moving it to the vault and then formatting the flash drive. If that doesn't work, try a different anti virus - could be something with AVG. I'm not suggesting you have more than one AV installed at the same time, that's a bad idea. But you can download either Avira or Avast then untinstall AVG and install the new one. BTW, both Avira & Avast are generally considered superior to AVG anyway.
