    Submit virus to symantec

    http://www.symantec.com/security_response/submitsamples.jsp

    Temp Solution.

    Manually Remove Virus.

    Run the System in Safe Mode.

    Clean the pen drive

    Go the path

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    Find the file name which is not related to your any application (eg- xxxx.exe)

    Remove that registry

    remove the file from Sysyem location.

    Uncheck from Msconfig Startup and restart system.

    After restart connect pen drive and check it come again or not?

    In your case, it is advisable to follow few important steps:

    1) Make sure all these machines are Patched with ALL Latest MS security patches and service packs.

    2) Make sure the machines are installed with the Latest Symantec virus definitions.

    3) Disable the Autorun Feature on the machine.

    Hi,

    Thanks you for posting your query in Symantec community.

    I would be glad to answer your question.

    I hope you are using all three SEP features AV/AS, PTP & NTP.

    Even after formatting external drive if shortcuts are getting created it means virus is active on the system as well.

    Shortcuts are getting created on pen drive but source file might be present on the system.

    Need to find out that infection/source file and submit to the Symantec for further analysis.

    Symantec Help (SymHelp)

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH170752

    You can scan the machine using Symantec power eraser tool.

    Use Power Eraser to detect threat and remove them

    You might have to submit suspicious files to the Symantec for further analysis if issue remained same.
