Newfolder.exe

I knoe the title evokes frustration, anger and other inexplicable emotions from anybody who has used a pendrive  ;nay! used a computer. Even for a linux user this virus is a big headache because removing this involves going to every folder and deleting them. Imagine the trouble i took to delete them from 37 (yes thirty seven only/-)folders and subfolders!
So with a friends help I found out an easier way to remove these wretched %@#$^&* (you know what i mean). By the way this script works only in linux. Windows users - get a good antivirus!
Failure is not an option -- it comes bundled with Windows.
So let me get to the point now. Follow these instructions (at your own risk ;))
step1. open your terminal
step2. type the following command
find -name “*\ .exe” -exec rm -rf {} \; 
    note that there is a space between '\' and '.exe'.
step3. go home!
Thats it! Enjoy!
