Shortcut Virus

[Johnno 0]

Hi,

 

I have Eset Version 5.0.2126.0 installed on the campus computers. Recently a new virus has ememerged. What the virus does is hide all files and folders in an unamed folder. The virus seems to affect USB flash drives and  turns the flash drive icon into a shortcut folder.

 

 Eset does not seem to block nor remove the virus.

 

Would really appreacite assistance with this.

 

Regards,

Johnno
