just like you trying to talk to a chinese person by speaking spanish. so a virus program will only catch what it knows to look for. but there are many languages out there chinese, russian. that is like you knowing english and spanish and thinking you can talk to the entire world. they only catch the viruses that they know how to find. it must be deleted and not used again even if it scans as good. all of the software/ apps/ programs on that drive.
