    Why do these Infected Files keep coming back?


    Yesterday I ran Microsoft Safety Scanner and before it completed it said I 22 files that were infected. It completed the full scan, said it was successfully completed and no viruses, spyware, or other potentially unwanted software were detected. After the scan I ran Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool and it saw no threats, I then went into Windows Security did a Full Virus threat scan with 0 threats found. So, I thought I washed the infected files out with the Microsoft Safety Scanner. But when I did another scan today With Microsoft Safety Scanner during the scan it came up wi

    Why do these Infected Files keep coming back?

    clean possibly infected flash drives and CD-RWs

    Your steps in post #1 should work for 99% of viruses that may be on a usb flash drive. However, there are a very few viruses that can infect the MBR of a drive. I would use Diskpart from a command prompt (Admin) to clean them. In the command prompt type DISKPART then, at the Diskpart prompt use the commands:

    LIST DISKnote the disk number of the usb and use it in place of # in the command:SELECT DISK #
    CLEAN
    CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

    After this you will have cleaned the partition table from the usb and created a partition using the whole of the the available space. You can then format this partition in File Explorer.


    For a CD-RW, if you right-click on it in File Explorer there is an Erase option.
