![]() So advice on what to do next re the network and other devices would be appreciated. I realise those gadgets can’t get windows viruses but think they could contain them via the network and pass them on when plugged into a pc via usb? Eg to do iPhone backups etc. Other devices that have been using the WiFi are - 2 other iPhones and a Nintendo Switch plus a couple of Linux laptops. What next please? Would like to upgrade the router firmware but that means turning WiFi back on. Have now wiped that second laptop and reset my iPhone to factory settings. That was when I turned off the WiFi and have been trying to methodically go through what needs to be done to prevent W32.Sillyfdc spreading via the network. However - at the same time Norton found W32.Sillyfdc, I had another laptop turned on nearby and my iPhone nearby made a beep for no reason. Hope you can follow this - I have quite a few computers. And wiped the drive and met of the infected pc - then binned the usb stick. Bit of a panic after googling what that was so shut down the WiFi, burned a new usb with parted magic (on my main laptop). Shortly after that, Norton found W32.Sillyfdc and removed it requiring a restart.

Main issue is - have I infected my spare laptop via the usb or is it a false positive? Thanks. Anyway have just about decided to give up on fixing that one. Also keyboard and mouse don't work on that laptop after bios (but work when in bios). ![]() However the laptop I had used the usb in may well have viruses - I used the usb to wipe the drive clean but there is another drive on it (soldered to the mother board) that was the original boot drive and isn't showing in bios - I assumed it had died. which it has classed as medium risk.įirst instinct was it was a false positive since Malwarebytes had just been installed. Only after those scans of the usb did the pop up come from Norton with the message about. On first putting the usb in the laptop I scanned it with Malwarebytes - nothing showed. I am now wondering if the usb was infected and something is on the laptop. First thing I thought was Norton thinks something in Malwarebytes is some kind of threat. The laptop I used to do all this is a spare one I don't use, with nothing on it except a recent clean install of Windows 10. I did that because I was about to insert a usb drive that had been in a laptop I had just bought - just in case the usb had got a virus from the laptop (belt and braces). Firstly I installed Malwarebytes and unsubscribed to the premium trial so it was for scan only. Now two things happened just before that popped up. Just to be clear, it was Norton Security that blocked. Endpoint Detection & Response for Servers
