I was able to remove it using AVG but this is where it gets weird.
I did a re-scan (including my external USB Hard Disk) and AVG did not find any virus. But when I plug in my USB hard drive and double click on the device in "My Computer", an error message shows up showing "Access is Denied" and I cant get in.
The only way I was able to access my USB hard disk ( or any other USB storage device) is to click on Start then run and type the drive name.
I though this was some registry problem so I used Clean My PC Registry cleaner. The problem seems to have been fixed. I can double click on a USB device and get in.
But the moment I plug in my USB hard disk again, the same problem persists. and the error "Access is Denied" pops up again when I double click on the USB storage device.
Can you anyone me resolve this?
