Folder counterfeits are frequently hidden by Internet users

If you find that the USB flash drive is poisoned by anti-virus software and all the information is "missing" after virus removal, do you think the virus hides the normal folder? Recently, a type of USB flash drive named "folder imitators" is spreading like a USB flash drive, mobile hard drive, digital camera memory card, mobile phone memory card, and other mobile devices. To this end, the only "dual-core" anti-virus software 360 specifically targets "folder imitators", not only killing viruses, but also restoring normal files on mobile devices such as USB flash drives, save valuable information from the virus.

It is understood that "folder imitators" are mainly spread through mobile devices such as USB flash drives. They will hide normal files and folders in the USB flash drive and disguise themselves as hidden files/folders. It also changes its icon to a folder icon or a common software Icon (such as a piece or video ). If you are not vigilant, double-click the virus file to immediately run the virus. Then, you can download dozens of Trojan viruses to the computer connected to the USB flash drive, in this way, the USB flash drive causes cross-virus infection between different computers.

In view of the evil behavior of "folder counterfeits", the "dual-core" 360 anti-virus software has enhanced its protection and removal of such viruses: When the 360 anti-virus "real-time protection" function is enabled, when a user inserts a USB flash drive or other mobile devices into a computer, if a hidden file with the same name exists in the USB flash drive, the 360 antivirus service immediately generates a warning and recommends that the user scan a USB flash drive or other mobile devices. Under the "dual-core" 360 cloud scanning and removal engine scan, the "folder imitators" will naturally be easily cleared, the hidden files and folders will also be automatically restored to normal status by 360 antivirus. Even if your computer is disconnected from the network, the cloud detection and removal engine cannot work online. In addition, the 360 anti-virus service will add the suffix ". 360" to the suspicious file of the "folder imitator" to ensure that it cannot run.
