When I conect phone to computer as Disk drive, all of my content on SD card is .exe files, even folders are .exe. So, I can not move anything to any computer. NOD32 reports that every file and folder are infected, but I cant delete or format card, becouse I need those data.
Can anyone help me with this?
Try cleaning them instead of deleting, also look at which virus is nod reporting that you have and google it for tutorials on how to remove it (this has worked for me always).
Give a try to the ms tool.
You can install Dr. Web (or lookout) from the market and scan your phone, and be sure to include archives and the memory card itself, although the virus is most likely on your pc.
And if this doesn't work try to backup the contents on some other device that is not running windows, it's also possible that the contents on the card are not actually infected (some viruses are bluffing and making nod go crazy or even disappear )

I periodically go into modes in which I need to clean clean clean my computers and gadgets and I was wondering if there was an app or something out there to detect which of my installed programs have been installed on the Storage Card and which have been installed on the Device.
I'd basically like to find what I truly need to install on the Device and reinstall everything else on the Storage Card to save Device disk space.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
Don't quote me on this, but I think DinarSoft MemMaid has something like this. I had it at one time on an old phone of mine. I seem to remember not only having this functionality, but being able to change to and from the other storage (from Main-> Card and Vice verse).
It may have been program specific, but It's definatly worth looking into.
if you goto the following link and go down to "Storage Memory" (maybe a little more then 1/2 down the page), it says that it does have the ability to see "What and Where" things are installed.

Hope it helps.
I could be wrong but if you open File Explorer and look in the Programs folder on "My device" you'll see all stuff installed on device memory and if you look on your storage card there is also a Programs folder with all the programs installed there. Perhaps I misunderstood your question and this isn't helpful - in that case, sorry!

Actually this was the original problem. Programs installed on the memory card will not only put files in the Program Files folders on the Storage Card, but can also install some in the Device Program Files folder, the Device Documents and Settings folder and even in the Windows folders.
Someone from PPCGeeks recommended using SKTools to figure this out and behold: not only a way to see where the install folder is, but you can move it to the card from the device and vice-versa if wanted!
Hello Guys, I have a really big problem which I can't solve it.
Recently I bought a 2GB Micro SD card from someone and I attempt to format it but i'm receiving a message: "Windows was unable to complete the format".
Tryed to delete them but an error is occurring.
I did an AVG Antivirus, SuperAntiSpyware, Trojan Remover and STOPzilla! scan but i find three viruses:
-Worm/AutoRun.MB
-Worm/Brontok.EZ
-Klif Trojan
but its pointless since after I remove them, they reapear.
I've attempted to delete them with Unlocker but it requires to restart and after that they reapear again.
I've even Booted a Partition Manager an wipe/delete the partition on the card using all the 35 steps format it and it took me 4 hrs. but no use. They are still there.
And even formating my card on my other friend's phones/digital cameras and is no use. The files are still there.
The card contains 220MB of corrupted, cross-linked and virused files. I tried to scandisk it but after the scan and repair, the same exact files remained there. Its like the card has a secret reservoir which replaces back all the "bad" files.
Table of files:
Folders: GFS_TMP, IMF090~1, IMF090~2, IMF090~2, IMF090~3, WA1D5E~3, WA1D5E~2(these folders contain files with weird names like random characters and various sizes like 3,5GB), WapTemp, sryk, Videos, Imsifolder, nane, Images.
The next files are hidden and can be found in the parent folder(SD card). Files marked with invisible cannot be displayed when selecting to show hidden folders but the can be detected by antiviruses and winrar.
Files: EXPLORER.EXE, gptvqp.exe, m0vnonh.bat(invisible), jmyua.exe(invisible), pwia.exe(invisible), SPOOLSV.EXE, tfs4_160.ess, THUMBS.DB and some music files.
Please provide some links with good solutions and thank you.
P.S. Sorry if my English is bad. I'm a Romanian.
Have you tried booting from a Live CD and formatting and partitioning that way?
Its simple theory!
Your computer has virus. They aren't allowing to format your SD Card since they are running. Even if you format, they will again copy to SD Card. Virus intensity is to spread were ever possible.
First clean up your PC and then attempt to format SD Card. There are 99% possibility for virus to spread, even though you clean your pc and anti virus software are useless.
If viruses on your pc has covered totally all folders and drives, linux is the only way to clear them. If you fresh install Windows and then enter into some folders on other drives or SD Card and if it does contain virus, It gets active again and within sec its spread out (First to startup).
1. Fresh install windows and when it finishes, install good anti virus and start to scan all the other drives. DON'T ATTEMPT TO ENTER ANY OTHER DRIVES OR SD CARD. Good to disable autorun of drives.
2. Use live linux OS and enter to each and every folders and remove the unknown files which you guess as virus.
3. Same as above but in windows using dos (Not explorer).
Thats my experience.
Softwares are good unless the virus aren't on your PC. They stop viruses to enter your pc but cannot if its already exists in your pc. Cancer is the another name of virus.
Thanks...
Best Regards

i don't think is a virus sneaking in my pc since i tried formating it on other mobile phones and failed and if a virus was doing that, msconfig would surely notify me.

Oh, As you said on first post. I though you are able to format.
If it doesn't format on mobile phone also, then probably the card is damaged. Either due to virus has made your card as readonly.

If you can successfully format the cab and viruses reappear, then its coming from pc itself.
Try formatting on safe mode or live linux or mac.
believe me, i've tryed, but everything i did was like nothing happened(delete partition, format, wipe...) and someone in 'tech support guy' forum said it might be a virus hidding in the nand sector.
P.S. Sorry for the spam.
my phone has been infected with a shortcut virus. when i plugged and mounted USB to a PC all of my files in SD are all in shortcut. I had fixed that and it returned to normal. now when i go to music app . the music in music apps are all duplicates and when i click the duplicates it doesnt play but when i look at my SD card all of my music are not duplicates and the space of my SD card is just normal.
now i think that the internal memory of the phone is where the virus is located, as what happens to the pc the virus placed itself on the pc and when i plug some external drives the files in it turns into a shortcut. but the virus has been removed now using combofix on the pc. and now my problem is i dont know how to remove the virus on my phone. when i explore the internal memory or the root directory of my phone i saw that the sdcard,d folders are all in shortcut. and theres a one file "vendor" in shortcut too. when i try to delete it it comes back after. please help me
Hmm... do you have any Anti Virus software installed? If you can, try installing Avast! Antivirus and scan.
Otherwise, try a factory/hard reset.

i tried scanning with DR.WEB cause other and did not found anything. cause other antivirus software dont have the feature to scan the internal memory
The Problem is not on android
Hi trebla459,
The problem is not on your android device, so you have to clean your PC from virus first, try using PC Antivirus to clean them and make sure it is working to clean the shortcut in your PC. You can also try to clean them using 30-days free-trial antivirus if you don't have one.
After your PC all cleaned, plug your android on usb and scan it with your antivirus.
rsuresh agrees
There are several suggestions on beating it here: http://www.computing.net/answers/security/virus-shortcut-problems-on-my-flash-drive/39350.html
Seems like this is not the nastiest of viruses. Recent wave of cryptolocker is all around in the news. That has nothing to do with Android but I wonder if anything like this hits Android?

use an antivirus to scan, if you want to be radical, to make sure that the phone is clean, full flash erase format the memory card, and the phone, install new fresh rom
done
I have a similar issue and that is that when I plug in a USB flashdrive or hdd, it makes a shortcut of the drive inside the drive and majority of files are hidden. I tested this three times with different flash drives. I also update CM overy two days and I have done full wipe before....
This is to inform everyone about a virus that known for almost a decades and still continue its threat to our PC's and past through USB Flash Drives... the Virus name are :
-krqvsfjxld.vbs
-mugen.vbs
This Virus are running through WSCRIPT.EXE... this is why that when we Use "Attrib -R -A -S -H [SourcePath]:\*.* /S /D" to our USB Flash Drive, Shortcuts is still remain...
HOW to Delete this Virus...
-Open TASK MANAGER and choose PROCESSES
-Look for WSCRIPT.EXE and Click END TASK(For WinXP/Win7)
-Look for MICROSOFT WINDOWS BASED SCRIPT HOST and Click END TASK(For Win8)
-Open REGEDIT
-Press CTRL+F and type in "krqvsfjxld.vbs" or "mugen.vbs"
-then press Delete
-continue to look for those Virus until you delete all..
NOTE
-You will need to perform this in both ADMINISTRATOR and USER ACCOUNTS
-Make sure that WSCRIPT.EXE is not running in your PROCESSES

First, Malwarebytes searches internal storage and Dr. WEB is pretty bad.
Sent from my stock, untouched Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 on the xda-developers app
I am using windows 8.1 (tried on 2 different systems with same OS) and viperone rom 2.5.0 on my HTC one M8. (this is a problem i always had even on the stock rom, I thought that a custom rom might fix it but i was wrong).
When i connect my phone to my computer, it gets detected instantly.
It finds the internal sd card but also the external sd card.
HOWEVER, when i go to the internal sd card (So the memory the phone has by default) There is no Android folder. (you know, the one with the .com-facebook blabla files in it)
When i open a file explorer on my phone I can perfectly see all the files and folders on my Internal SD card. But when I use the pc to find these files, allot of them don't show up. Even some files in the ROOT of the sd card are not showing up, and these are simple .png and .log files. AS IF WINDOWS 8.1 DOES NOT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE FILES, and therefor decides to just not show them.
- YES i have turned on Show hidden files and folders -
Oh yeah, sometimes these folders do randomly pop up in there on the pc but then the are gone just as fast as they appeared. Also transfering files is very, very slow and gets interupted from time to time because windows "Cannot connect to device" or "Lost connection to device".
I keep wondering, why can't it be easy like an simple usb stick/drive. Those things are just plug 'n play. I recon that android should have this same option but it keeps disappointing me
I remember the good GingerBread days where you pressed the button on your phone CONNECT STORAGE TO PC. And it worked every single time, without delay or other crap. Just like CWM with its USB Storage function.
Look for a folder named "storage", in there you find the folder "emulated" and in there is the folder "0" open it and you'll see all the folders you have on your phone
Like title says N8P doesn't let me to tranfer apk or exe files from PC to internal memory/SD neither through windows explorer or HiSuite. Tranfer start then stop after about 30-40%, phone disconnect and connect again to PC. For example I tried to tranfer a GCamera for N8P apk (from this forum) to SD card to install it. It's any protection somewhere i must remove it?
ThankYou!
My best guess is that your cable is damaged. Next would be something with HiSuite, however I can't comment on that since I never used this peace of software.
You could try:
- use adb for file transfer (if it still doesn't work cable damage)
- another cable
If you need to transfer an apk to your phone why don't you just download it directly to your phone. Unless you're developing yourself you should be able to get anything directly to the phone.
It's something with apk and exe files because I can transfer everything else. For example videos over 1Gb, pictures, anything. But if it's apk or exe it happens what I said even if have 20Mb
Sure, I can find other ways to do this. I did it through google drive. I just wander if it have any protection?
