I plugged my usb drive into a computer and the computer is now damn near unusable. DrWatsn post mortem debugger spams 250+ instances. The viruses that were on my thumb drive I believe I was able to clean and identify - I hope.
My question is, should I spend time tryin to clean this up or just try to back up some data using a pe boot disc and reformat? From looking online about this virus it isn't very nice but hoping someone with more experience could shed some light on this for me.
I ended up trying to clean my thumb drive using the Kaspersky av for Windows7 only because I didn't want to infect any other computers with these viruses. I first plugged the drive into the machine and deleted some files that I didn't recognize using the cmd prompt and entering dir /w/a. The files I deleted were Winxp32.exe, taskmanager17.exe and system.exe. After that I ran a scan with the Kaspersky to clean up even more. The infection looks like it possibly spread to files I tried to run on the suspected source machine but I didn't remember trying to run heavyloader.exe or the fastwiz.exe which was also deleted by Kaspersky. Here is the Kasp rpt.
