Computers at the office were infected by this simple, yet fast-spreading worm virus. Autorun.inf keeps appearing on USB drives, and a file titled jwgkvsq.vmx is hiding in a RECYCLER folder. A couple of computers I managed to fix and removed the virus, two other were reformatted. Even my latest and updated anti-virus didn’t detect this, also my autorun scanner was by passed by it. My computer terminal was not infected of course. I have tight security on it.
It took me two whole days, just to check up on each computer in our office network. And a few hours just to complete the guide I made to remove it.
If you think you are infected, check out my post at TechieBubble.com on How to remove the jwgkvsq.vmx worm virus.
Also it seems that I also got this virus a couple of weeks back on my friend’s laptop. It spread through my external hard drive, of course when I plugged it in my computer at home it didn’t spread but I did have trouble deleting the file. Thankfully MoSo Force Delete removed it. It was my first encounter, but I dismissed in only as a normal autorun.inf virus.

download and install 7-zip and then use it to go through the recyler folder in ur pen drive and then delete it.
note:
delete it after about 3min after pluging your pen drive into the computer
What do you mean by “use it to go through the recyler folder”?
@amidis
I think “hey” means that you should use 7-zip to navigate through your drives until you see the recycler folder, then you can delete it from there.
We have developed a removal tool for the virus (Recycler\…jwgkvsq.vmx).
Please use following link to download the tool.
