well prashant , you can try in this fashion, download NOD32 from www.eset.com and scan your computer, it will delete the virus.

If you want more technical answer:

Your computer is infected with the W32.USBWorm virus which displayed such messages while opening Orkut and Youtube. Here are a few simple steps which you can follow to remove this virus if this has infected your system too.

Open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del and go to processes tab

Locate svchost.exe under the image name. There will be many processes by that name but look for the ones which have your username under the username. Just kill these processes by pressing Del key.Only kill those which have your username under the username and leave the rest

Open the run command and type C:\heap41a and press enter. This is a hidden folder. Delete all the contents of this folder

Open the registry by typing regedit in the run box

Search for heap41a in the registry by using the find command

You will get something like this “[winlogon] C:\heap41a\svchost.exe C:\heap(some number)\std.txt“. Just delete the entries by pressing the del key

Close the registry editor

Now the virus will be gone. The virus mainly spreads through USB disks so be sure to delete Autorun.inf file and any folder which has a .exe extension in the pen drive you use. Avast and Nod32 are able to detect it. Even AVG, Norton and macfee failed to detect it.

The above mentioned are not guaranteed to work everytime. In one of my machines, the virus disabled the Task Manager and registry editor also so i was unable to perform the above steps. In such cases, try doing a full system scan with Avast in the boot mode and delete all files which are infected. If a lot of system files get infected, then you would have to format your computer to remove it successfully. The viruse also spreads quicly through Flash drives and Local Area Network so always scan the flash disks in such cases.

Hi Prasant you should try Kaspersky anti-virus software because it is in the top of the chart. And it will remove all the virus from the PC when it is scaned or if any virus attack your PC it will block it and keep your PC safe from virus. So just download 30 days trail and check by your self and you will know the difference between kasper and other anti-virus software. And it is very lite and consume less memory from the PC.

Just install this software and the virus will be removed.

Well Prashant , this is not a pretty strong virus and you can simply remove it by installing and downloading a good anti virus.

It is created by a file called newfolder.exe.

No need to do anything extra.

Well there are so many good anti virus used now a days.
but in my opinion nod32 is best in the business.

It has the best security features available in it.
I am using it for both office and home.

Moreover It is developed by ESET, one of the best anti virus brand.

You can download it using the following site:

Just download it and than install in your system.

Scan your system to check for viruses. You need to update it after certain period of time so that it can scan the new viruses.

I hope the above tips would help you out.

Well prashant "new folder" virus is not a very strong virus.It is a macro virus.It can damage just a part of your computer.It is not used usually by hackers.But do not ignore this virus.It can also damage your virus by infecting "system 32" file of "C" drive.Install a good anti virus software and then run it in your computer.From my opinion quick heal anti virus is the best anti virus for this virus.In security quickheal has got 10 out of 10 points.But kaspercy anti virus is also good.You can choose any of the one form both.Well if you want kaspercy anti virus i have the setup file of it in my computer.If you want it you can mail me at kaushal_maxpayne@yahoo.com.If you want quickheal antivirus then you can buy it from internet.Visit www.quickheal.com.From this site you can buy quickheal anti virus software.You can lso format your P.C.But it will be useless."New folder" virus is not very strong.If it has infected your computer already then you have to format your P.C. at any cost.
