This is probably not the right community but I haven’t found a better one.

So I watched a video from Seytonic where he mentiond that some malware creates a windows link with the name of the usb on a usb. So I checked my usb because I remembered that I had to click 2 times on my usb to opened it. I found a link that contained cmd.exe and a name of a file next to it. Upload to the virustotal showed Raspberry Roblin worm.

I use Linux but my familly uses windows so I will have to go through all familly computers and remove the worm. Where can I find info how to remove this specific worm - Raspberry Roblin? On google I found a description about how the worm works but not specific files it creates and how to remove it.

The first page that shows up is microsoft.com and it says that windows defender detects the worm, but clearly it doesnt.

    Have you run a full scan using Windows Defender?

    Can you confirm that the worm is actually running?

    AV software may remove the installed worm from the system, but not from the drive.

    Probably a good idea to reformat the USB drive

    PS. if all else fails, nuke and pave (reinstall the computers in your household, including your linux machine)

    You should do this offline, as in, quarantine the situation.
