Additional removable storage devices are appearing—maybe linked to a virus.
Additional removable storage devices are appearing—maybe linked to a virus.
Recently my Kaspersky Anti Virus reported a file named 'WORM.WIN32.STUXNET' as detected, quarantined and then removed after a restart. I remain worried it might still be present. In the Task Manager, under Performance, there are extra removable drives listed—F:, H:, I:, J:—none of which I’ve connected or seen in the Explorer. Am I overreacting, or is the virus still there? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I experienced an issue with my micro SD card/reader having four ports, and it appears to have stopped working. I'm worried it might be related to a virus. I've run full scans and backed up everything, but I'm still unsure what else to try. Take care.
It seems like you're wondering if the situation is resolved since four additional drives appeared!
Counting shows 6 on the card reader, yet when I connect and disconnect the four additional drives they seem to appear and vanish.
Everything looks typical in disk management. I guess my card reader was a little unreliable, but I remain quite worried about viruses.
When it has a Micro SD card slot and an SD card slot, they look like one drive. Another connection type does the same, probably using CF and MD formats.
