Help Please with virus
Has anyone else come across the Ground.exe trojan virus
I've can see it changing attribs on exe's
Does anyone know what the best way to handle this problem is?
I have external HHD's that have this problem.
Thanks in advance

Never seen it before but if it's changing attrib's it might be some sort of cryptolocker in which case your files will be totally locked.
If you can see it changing attrib's on files, I would turn the computer off right now. If the external drives are infected, don't plug them into any other computer, otherwise they will become infected as well.
The only thing I could suggest is running the computer in safe mode with network support and do a full scan with malwarebytes. Then scan all ext drives with malwarebytes as well.

If it is crypto locker there has been write ups here explaining how to get files back .
I haven't come across the Ground.exe virus myself, but I discovered a reference to use a program celled Virutkiller available from the Kaspersky (anti-virus) website at .
Do you have any idea of how you picked up this virus?
Also, please keep us informed of your progress.
Thank you for the people who have replied,
Yes I do know how it was picked up.
I bought a RFID swipe card programmer on ebay & the Chinese manufacturer disguised the virus on the internal memory of the device.
When you plug it into you computer to run the software you get this problem.
A friend of mine bought the same RFID programmer and using vm also had the same issue.
My fault for not using a VM.
It's not crypto lock, if it was I would fly over there with my shovel
