Someone help me on how to clean it, There is absolutely no way that the boot portion of Malmo will install to a USB memory stick. Malmo is the name used in some AV for Junkie, a virus that was common in the mid nineties, and became extinct since (it CAN'T run on 32 bit Windows operating systems). There have been a few reports on that virus in the last years, mostly obtained with Symantec's NAV, and all turned to be false alerts. Ignore the alert, or change the AV product you use.

It's a false alarm. You would do better not posting this, for the sake of other that may have the Malmo false alarm and risk losing their data by following your advice. Mind you, layman may format their hard drive as well, if the false alarm points to it. Regards, Zvi - NetZ Computing Ltd.

This procedure would highlight the false alarm. There is no risk to your files whatsoever by following this procedure. You are wrong. Ignore the alert, or change the AV product you use You call this good advice? - Ian Kenefick 123http://www.claymania.com/nav-map.html.

I think it could not be a false alert. Think about it. It contradicts physics rules.
The Malmo (Junkie) MBR will only install to a device specified 80h in the BIOS (first fixed hard drive), when running an infected file under plain DOS. Norton AV is known to suffer of this particular false alarm. See for more threads on the same.
If you insist keeping NAV and using the memory stick, then disable the boot check in NAV's options. It may stop the false alert and you don't really risk anything. Regards, Zvi - NetZ Computing Ltd. ISRAEL (Hebrew) InVircible Virus Defense Solutions, ResQ and Data Recovery Utilities.

Think about it. Zvi is a well known figure in the antivirus community who absolutely knows what he's talking about in cases like this and has spent rather more time than you or almost anyone else you name 'thinking about it'.
