When using a USB disk under Linux, every time you see a file like auto, it is suspected to be a virus.
But the input ls-l command found that the attribute is not completely?
The result is that it won't be erased.
After a multi-party query that the reason is that Linux can not deal with the "." End of the file. So in this place cannot be deleted.
But there is a solution.
The method is as follows:
If you are the system automatically mount a U disk, please umount first
Then, enter the following:
sudo mount-t msdos/dev/sd*/media/disk
The difference here and the default is
The-t parameter changes from VFAT to MSDOS. Because VFAT is for FAT32. MSDOS is for FAT16.
When you open the U disk again, you will find. The name has become Autorn. Because the FAT16 file name can only display 6 digits. If there is more to use, omit.
But this will remove the virus.
