I've just reinstalled Kaspersky (I cannot surf the web without) and the ghost drives reappeared. Really seems that there's a bug in the antivirus

Jaclaz, I really thank you very much for your help and the time you spent trying to solve the problem. I really appreciate that. I sent a mail to the Kaspersky support about my problem. They answered me to try to uninstall Kaspersky software which is what I did. And miracle, these "ghost drives" disappeared and when I plug the USB drives, it works perfectly. Don't ask me the relation between these ghost drives and the antivirus, I have no idea, only that it now works. But well I'll have to resinstall my Antivirus solution. That's all I can say. Thanks again ! CD

Jaclaz, I really thank you very much for your help. I did not mention it, but you're talking about "strange software" and it makes me think that I've upgraded my version of Kaspersky Internet security for version 15.0.0 to 15.0.1. I think the problem started at that moment. I don't know if it is just a coincidence, maybe it is related to the problem. Sorry about not mentionning this before. I didn't think of it.

Hello Dencorso and thanks for your message. My computer is a laptop and I do not have any multiple card readers. @ Jaclaz : I tried to follow your explanations (not sure I did all well) but it did not change anything. Thanks anyway for your help.

I tried manually then with Cleanup, rebooting each time. Unfortunately there is still those "ghost" drives if I call them like that.

Ok so everything's fine about the command. So here's the mountvol.txt file run with my Emtec 2GB USB drive plugged in: mountvol.txt The icon of the USB drive looks like normal but when I click on it, I got the error message "F: \ refers to a location that is unavailable...etc... "(see emtec.JPG). I hope you have an idea about what to do. Thanks again for your help.

Hello Tripredacus and thanks for your help. 1.This happens for about a week 2. The models of my USB drive are Emtec 2GB and Kingston DT101 G2 16GB About the mountvol.txt file, I launched cmd.exe then typed mountvol>c:\mountvol.txt and press enter. What did I do wrong ? I tried again and got exactly the same content in the mountvol.txt file.

Hello Jaclaz and thank you very much for your answer and your help. I did try to reboot, but this changes nothing. I still have those 3 icons. You will find the file mountvol.txt attached mountvol.txt Thanks again! CD

Hello Everyone, First of all, I must say I'm french, so I do not have all the right words I have a problem on my Windows XP Home: On my Computer, I now have icons of drives with white interrogation marks on red circle (see attached file). Now when I plug a USB (F:), I get the following error message F: \ refers to a location that is unavailable. This can be a location on a hard drive of this computer or a network. Make sure the disc is inserted correctly or you are connceté (e) to the Internet or home network, and then try again. If you still can not find the information, it may have been moved to a different location. Do you know how to solve this problem ? I hope my explanations are understandable. Thank you very much in advance. CD
