Buzus Trojan on my USB pendrive

PEN drive virus?

Yes, they are really terrible, a real pain, I'm talking about the viruses that get into your pendrive, maybe in the Recycled folder (or Recycler, depending if it's a NTFS or FAT filesystem).

The problem is removing the pest from (1) the pendrive, (2) the harddisk and (3) cleaning up your system.

This nice article from italian webmaster jes (Accademia3.it) can give you some hints on using tools like Unlocker and Filemon to trackdown these viruses (or trojans, whatever) to get ridd of them.
