[Ilugc] repeating Virus on pen-drive
Hi,
I had attached my pen-drive to a windows system, which led to loading of a
virus that creates a exe file in every folder that you open. Now to get rid
of that, I tried deleting the virus from my fedora system, however it just
won't go, and moreover it changes the access mode of the pen-drive to read
only on every delete attempt. I had tried this before and it worked, but
this time it is something different. Maybe the issue is specific to
pen-drives, because last time I tried this on a portable hard disk with
ntfs.
I have tried overwriting the exe files using the dd command (find -name *\
.exe ./ -exec dd -if=/dev/zero or some text file of={} bs=512 count=some
count enough to override the file size \;) to get rid of whatever code is in
the virus.
After running the above command, ls -l does shows the new attributes of the
file in terms of size and modified date etc, however again when I delete the
file, the original attributes are restored.
Then I tried formatting it, however after a certain point the format fails,
because again the access mode changes to read only mode.
I then tried overwriting the whole disk with the dd -if=/dev/zero, but that
fails too after certain point for the same reason.
Now the pen-drive is in a state that even when I attach it to windows, it is
accessed in read-only mode and am unable to do anything except for read the
data from it.
I will send in more details from the logs once I get back to my system.
Until then, if anyone has any pointers, please let me know.
Regards,
Ashish
p.s the AVG anti-virus also was not able to delete that virus.

Think and you will see why... -Girish I agree, Its not the best thing to be talked about in a linux forum, but then this is a unique and engrossing scenario which makes one think of ways that files could stored on a filesystem, such that even overwriting a location using 'dd' did not overwrite the actual file. I am sure there is something special to be learnt here, because as per my knowledge dd is supposed to be overwriting blocks directly on the location specified, then howcome upon deleting the file after overwriting, the original file is restored, and what's making the drive to change to readonly mode. I am just trying to understand these points. And moreover if I take this drive to the markets like Nehru place in delhi and Burma bazar in Chennai, they will be able to format it in no time. Like they did for my memory card, that was not even detectable on my system or phone (dmesg indicated finding a new device, however was able to assign a device file for the same, for which I had once written a mail).

Now this is an interesting problem. It does not seem logical that a Win virus
can cause this. There are a couple of possibilities -
1. The virus is at a lower level than 'autorun' - extremely unlikely.
2. My guess is that the drive itself is faulty - not easy to verify.
3. Something else which I can't begin to understand.
Try googling to see how you can 'reset' flash drives. We could wave strong
magnets over previous generation of hard disks - is there something equivalent
for flash drives?
