Since you have already tried the format route, i assume they do not have any important files on them. Try installing an operating system on the USB drives. Just thinking out loud here about things I might try.ġ. Thanks to essexboy, and everone else for all the help! Unfortunately all the mbr fixing tools seem to be command line, which i know nothing at all about, but which, i think, doesnt work over usb connections - so you cant clean the mbr of usb drives, but if they're non-bootable (no OS installed on them) then i dont think it matters (fingers crossed!) download and run mbrcheck to confirm its in the bootable drive(s)Ģ.download and run BTKR_RunBox to re-write the mbr on those drives I thought i'd outline what i did to remove the virus from my internal, bootable hdd, just for anyone else whose avast tells them they have whistlerġ.
I now only have the whistler virus in the mbr of my non-bootable, usb hdd's - as far as i can make out, it isnt a threat there (as long as i dont boot up from them), so, since i cant find any way of re-writing those mbr's, i'm going to ignore the presence of the virus I ran the kaspersky - it took for ever, because it kept stopping to ask what to do when it found something - it didnt find anything that other progs hadnt already found (i hve a few files on my pc which give false postives in all anti-virus progs)
