Can't format SD card !!!

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.

[Q] i need some help here

hi guys!
ive been trying to instal this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038694 on my HD2 because... omg windows is driving me insane!
but the SD boot just doesnt work, ive did what they asked me too, download the file, unzip it... put the android folder on the root of my SD card and first tabbed the file for the sound and then i tryed to the file for installing the ROM but it either freezes in a black screen showing "HTC" or it shows that black screen and it reboots my phone and im still in windows
help me guys or give me a suggestion for a different and just as good android rom for my HD2! one with htc sense that is.

Try turning your computer antivirus and firewall off temporarily, and then start the process from beginning over. Antivirus and firewalls sometimes mess with installations.

[TOOL] - [UPDATED 12/2/2012] - Xbox Live Data Backup v0.02!

This app will allow you to backup some of your xbox live game data to your pc. Currently it only saves 3 xbox games, it can backup and recover. It uses ISETOOL.exe which comes with the microsoft windows phone sdk. I need more Product GUIDS and names of games if you want more added. This only backups up your high scores and saved progress in games.
Current Games Supported:
Angry Birds
Plants Vs. Zombies
Need for Speed: Undercover
Zune must be running and phone cant be pin locked.
THis is running on a HTC HD7 running a custom rom, intrinsic 5.02. Im not sure if this will work on a stock phone or not.
Running backup over an existing saved game will overwrite it wit and update. Enjoy and let me know if you guys want more games, or how it workS!

The basic idea is valid, but stock ROMs can't use it. The Mango version of TouchXperience (which is what WPDM uses to browse your phone) is low-privilege and can only see a limited part of the filesystem.

It does work. but yes, it'll only work on custom roms and with wpdm, because you need it to save the files to your PC and then restore them after the rom flash.

Hi,
you should add "only for custom roms" to the title

it did not work with me ..
My phone is chevron unlocked

Even possible for not custom roms...
Hi Community,
I yesterday mentioned to open a thread today, desribing
how to backup your savegames, but you where a bit earlyier .
But I found out, how it works with every interop-unlocked
device (samsung and htc) and even with non custom-roms. You have
to download Windows phone Power Tools
http://wptools.codeplex.com/
which allows you to read and write apps isolated storage
(but only from sideloaded homebrew apps) and
wp root tools 0.8 by [email protected] Also you have to download or
sideload and homebrew app, for exapmple MPA Tool, (which is also an useful app ).
I you dont want this, you can choose any other homebrew application
on your phone and find out its installation path.
Now, if you have wp power tools and wp root tools "by heathcliff"
there are two steps to go:
1. (wp root tools)
you have to navigate to the path of the game (f.e. angry birds)
Applications/Data/E4571A02-0B87.../Data/Isolated Storage
and copy the two files (for other games it can be more than two)
in the isolated storage of your choosen homebrew app (e.g. MPA TOOL).
Applications/Data/7AC990A5-7092....../angry birds
(I created folders in this path to hold it clear...)
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/191/screencapture11a.jpg/
2. windows phone power tools
When this is done connect your phone with zune and run wp power
tools. Under "file browser" you can open the isolated storage of MPA
Tool (or any other homebrew app) and copy the files from the
games to your computer.

After flasing a new ROM just revert the hole progress...

PS: I attached a list with the installation paths of many applications,
so its easier for you to find the path...

@Malte1234511: That's only going to work for Samsung gen1 phones. Non-Samsung or even Samsung gen2 phones can't use WP7 Root Tools.
TouchXplorer used to work, but now it onlyworks for very old firmware or custom ROM (after an HTC update disabled it).

Sadly, some apps & games downloaded directly from Marketplace cannot be backup such as Amazon Kindle. But if u use 3Mktplace to download, patch it and deploy to device, everything work perfectly!

We want to backup the data from our original Xbox live games. The tool is useful (thanks to winphoneviet) for for some applications, but not for games from the marketplace.

wpdm and touchexpierence work fine on my HTC hd7 with the custom rom. With touchexpierences file browser I can search through all the apps and games dir just fine. And wpdm can copy the game files from my PC and back to my phone just fine too.

wpv backup does your whole phone. This way only backs up the game data, but you need to be on a custom rom.

his tool does backup apps and games data, but not all games and all apps are backed up ie. xboxlive games and downloaded apps from the marketplace. refer to post #1 on how to back up angry birds.

sorry but i didn't wait for that useless thread to backup my xboxlive games...in fact i do that everytime i flash a new rom and i do it since winphoneviet has shared his awesome app...so...have a nice three games backup lol

Virus help

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.

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
