hkw Posted May 16, 2011 ID:429716 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Recently I have posted the topic in General Forum under Topic Title of FileASSASSIN to remove a folder consisting of 3 files in USB through use of FileASSASSIN under Tool of MBAM v1.50 installed but was unsuccessful. Those files could not be deleted with message of "cannot delete file" & "cannot read source file or disk" as well as under Safe Mode.Those files have been scanned with MBAM and Avira AntiVir Premium v10.0.0.60 and no trace of malware was being detected. As recommended by exile, subject is now posted under Malware Romoval Forum to seek your expert assistance to have the problem solved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff screen317 Posted May 19, 2011 Staff ID:430852 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hi and welcome to Malwarebytes.What files are you referring to? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkw Posted May 20, 2011 Author ID:431566 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Hi,screen317!That folder is stored in USB consisting of 4 files. Each file is more than 1GB. I can't remember what sort of files they are as the names and contents are not familiar with. Each time when I try to delete that folder, warning message appeared with "cannot delete file" & "cannot read source file or disk". Recently I have tried to delete them one after the other using FileASSASSIN under Tool of MBAM, delete work has been done with message of deleted successfully. But actually those files are still there when I re-opened the folder.Please advise how I can remove them from my USB and no malware or antivirus was ever detected from them after scanning.

Staff screen317 Posted May 21, 2011 Staff ID:431863 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hi.Please advise how I can remove them from my USB and no malware or antivirus was ever detected from them after scanning. Do you mean your USB drive/flash drive?Plug it in, then click Start --> Run, and type in cmd.exe; press Enter.Enter this command (replace X with the drive letter for your flash drive):dir X:>"%userprofile%\desktop\dir.txt"Press Enter.Open dir.txt on your Desktop and post it here.

hkw Posted May 21, 2011 Author ID:432009 Share Posted May 21, 2011 When I press ENTER after I enter the command and message of "System cannot find the specific path" appeared. What should I do then?I then move all my files to my Hard Drive and have that suspicious file remained in USB Flash Drive and have it formatted. The problem is now solved and thanks for your recent assistance in the matter.You can advise another better removal method if similar case happened again in future.Many thanks!
