im just downloaded ewido from grisoft. it was able to detect the netsvcs.exe from my flash drive. i quarentined it. i am now able to "safely remove" my flash drive (w/c i previously cant do).

now when i open My Computer, and double click on the flashdrive, a window pops up "Choose a program you want to use to open this file:". what can i do so that when i double click on it, i will be able to view the files in my flashdrive?

is this related to the netsvcs.exe file that ewido removed?

" netsvc.exe is a process which is registered as the Trojan.W32.Mytob worm. This virus is distributed via the Internet through e-mail and comes in the form of an e-mail message, in the hopes that you open it's hostile attachment. The worm has it's own SMTP engine which means it gathers E-mails from your local computer and re-distributes itself. In worst cases this worm can allow attackers to access your computer, stealing passwords and personal data. It is a registered security risk and should be removed immediately. "

I doubt it would be due to this. Try posting in 'Removable drives' under 'Hardware'.
