Remove copy.exe

How do I remove virus copy.exe? It is very irritating as this virus does not allow me to double click and open the drive that I want directly. Instead, I have to right-click and click explore in order to open the drive I wanted. How can I get this virus out? Thank you to anyone who can help with this. =)

Copy.exe is a spyware also called the "Salga-A" worm. If you're sure that's what you're infected with then every respected antivirus should be able to deal with this threat. These include: Symantec's internet security, Kaspesky, Sophos and more. I advise you to run the scan under safe mode. Here's a few links for some details. #A, #B

Good luck.

1) Kill all processes related to copy.exe trojan (including but not limited to host.exe, xcopy.exe, temp1.exe, temp2.exe and svchost.exe)

2) Delete all files related to copy.exe trojan (including but not limited to host.exe, xcopy.exe, temp1.exe, temp2.exe and svchost.exe)

3) Clear all references to Copy.exe virus from Autorun.inf files on all drives or simply delete these files (please note, that this may stop some other useful autorun functionality of drives)

4) Delete subkeys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2 key which are created by Copy.exe file virus.

This is long but effective way of Copy.exe repair.

Remove the svchost.exe file which is stored in Windows\svchost.exe, if you removed this files means virus script file removed,then you can delete copy.exe or autorun.exe

Don't remove svchost.exe file from windows\system32 or windows\system directory.
