Connecting an USB drive I receive a message about LNK/PSRunner.VPFC virus. In Quarantine this virus is listed as D(16GB).lnk. I cancelled it but when I reload any other USB drive I have the same message and again I find the file in Quarantine.  How can I solve this noisy problem ? Could anyone help me ?  Thanks in advance.  Beppe.

  Hello Pascha 45. Excuse me and here the info. Avira Security free version 1.1.74.3 with the last updatings - OS Windows 11.  After inserting USB drives Avira detects two malware files named LNK/PSRunner.VPFC and put them in quarantine as path D:\D(16GB).lnk -  filename D(16GB).lnk and path D:\D(17GB).lnk - filename D(17GB).lnk  respectively.  This happens also with just purchased drives. If I delete the files in quarantine this problem persists.  What happens is that become impossible to load files in the USB drive : in a first moment the loaded files appears but very soon they disappear and the drive becomes empty.  Following scanning with Avira and other antiviruses do not find any problem.  In internet I find some results about these files : they seem to be a trojan that alter some Powershell parts but I do not find a way to solve this problem definitively.  Could you help me ?  Thank you very much in advance.  Giuseppe.
