i am having problems heres what i know....

-my hard drive is an external Western Digital 2 TB hard drive. it was working fine until i started noticing simple things like this:

*all my folders were turned into shortcuts

*every time i open said external hard drive the virus pops up in my process manager

* i quarantined this virus with my Anti Virus program and than would not let me access the external any longer.

-what i have done:

*i have removed the virus from quarantine so that i am able to access my external

*every time i open i end the process that the virus begins

* i have cleared my computer and the external of all other viruses this is the last remaining

-my concerns:

* i cannot lose the data that i have on this external. very important works!

* i have heard that i can remove the virus and re-format the hard drive.-problem!(re- formatting the hard drive will lose all of my work)

* I do not have enough space on my computer to remove all files and folders than re-format.

-what i am capable of doing:

* i am capable of folowing any instruction on how to go into a back door of some kind and delete this virus without damaging this external or the folders in it.( just need the instruction )

****** please dont tell me to download some virus crap or anything liek that my anti virus works fine it caught it and thats not the problem. so please before offering a solution just re read my problem. thank you.

I'm sorry I don't see any topic in malware for you or that has been started in the past year. Can you provide a link to your malware topic and what then I can verify your system has been declared healthy.
