So, fun times are happening, and causing me some panic, which on reflection I realised I should have handled much better than I did. But I'm not required to be okay at all times, just learning and improving at all times, as far as mental health is concerned.
Recently, I put a thumb drive in an Alexander Library public computer.
When I put it in my own computer afterwards, AVG Anti-Virus threw up a warning for a virus in inf.exe, which it removed. All well and good.
Except when I then stuck that same thumb drive into a UWA library computer, Sophos Anti-Virus said autorun.inf was a virus or trojan and nuked it.
All well and good, except now I'm worried my laptop has a virus AVG missed. Sophos is available to UWA students, and I downloaded it, but running the file runs the extractor, which does its thing, cleans up after itself, and... leaves nothing behind that I can find. Certanly not, you know, anti-virus software. So that's a bit mystifying.
I also downloaded Avast! Anti-Virus, and it's updated and running, and hasn't called anything yet, but I can't find how to tell it to do a full scan of my computer. At least it's running in impedence of anything new? I don't know.
