**From August 7, 2007:**
Several users in my network are complaining about “Disk Knight,” a new program that was created by a 19-year-old in Chittagong named Ariful Islam. I used to have a link to his site here, with removal instructions, but it seems to have disappeared.
The program is meant to stop virus processes originating from USB flash disks, however, its virus like behaviour means that it is now spreading uncontrollably on computers around Bangladesh via users’ USB disks—a real nuisance for IT administrators like myself.
Users with more computer knowledge will be able to remove DiskKnight from their computers and flash disks following my instructions, however, I have already submitted samples of the file to our virus protection vendor Sophos as I’d rather not have some program stopping every process on my computer, including the useful ones! While I appreciate Mr. Islam’s wish to help the community deal with viruses, it is my belief the best approach is to educate users to protect themselves.

yeah…it acts like a virus and its suspicious.
…in BUET labs its already there in evry pc. (almost)
very annoying program. Got it out of my system using regedit and deleting entries having “knight” in them and deleting the knight.exe program from the root of both hard disk and pen drive. These are hidden. I took a look at the binary and looks as if it could have been developed by some one else and later modified by ariful. Also the language used at the weblink is not very friendly in intent. Should be labelled as a virus because later updates of such programs can have malicious code embedded in them.
How to remove this Virus from Pen Drive. Please suggest.

This really usefull software. I am really waiting for this. Thanks to Ariful Islam.
Download the new version of Disk Knight (Ver:4) from http://www.ariful.esmartweb.com. Disk Knight Verion:4 has overcome all the
limitations of version:1. I promise you’ll enjoy it. One more word, Disk Knight is neither an antivirus nor a virus but it had to have some attribute like a virus to reach its ultimate goal: “Say goodbye to mobile disk viruses”. You can’t beat a Devil if you are weaker or less trickier than that.
good
aww, thanks for the descriptive comment..
It’s a bad things, i can not remove it. i got it from bangladesh now i can not open my usb. i want to delete it. anda program. its has limitation , please can u inform me ,how can i delete it?
it is a bad program. i got it from bangladesh. can u inform me how can i delete it.
Disk Knight is worst kind of program developed by a nonsense person. The bad guy Arif should be punished for developing such annoying and disturbing program. It makes my work too slow.
AVG latest version could kill Disk Knight.
I like this virus. Thanks Ariful.

Dear all,
I know How to delete and get rid of this….
Kamanashis
pls help Ashis da
Arif,
You are a real idiot. That is not a ” useful software” , that is a “notorious badware” . That bull shit virus even infected my mobile phone. That so called software ( virus indeed ) get installed by itself . Do you think that can be a characteristic of good software ?
Idiot, esmartweb.com has banned your page http://www.ariful.esmartweb.com. Because they also think that Disk Knight is a virus.
Disk knight may be a good production of Arif but I feel trouble to open any folder when it needs to press “allow”.
ariful islam, you are an total idiot….plz distribute ur software properly, instead of letting it spread uncontrollably, submit it to http://www.completelyfreesoftware.com/submit_software.html
Dont become a hero little boy…u r nothing…
To remove Disk-Knight:
type start>run>msconfig>go to “startup” tab and uncheck “Knight”..
Kill process in task manager and delete the exe on c:\windows\knight.exe
please do help to remove disk knight. for ours who are not it specialists please write in detail how we can remove this bad thing.
Dear Alcratraz,
How do I “kill the process in task manager”?
And does that delete the stupid soft ware from USB thumb as well?
Ariful should really feel sorry for all the trouble he created!
for cleaning USB thumb/pen-drive, by a non-technical person:
1. get hold of a friend for whom the following makes sense:
2. get hold of a dos level file manager. my friend used Norton Commander and deleted the autorun.inf file in the USB, if knight.exe is also showing then delete that too (but usually an upto date anti-virus will have already removed knight.exe). trying the dos-command line route does not work as u cannot unhide the autorun.inf
i’m a total non-techie and think u need a technically proficient person to deal with this. however it only takes a minute. i was in office all day friday working and brought my work home on a pen-drive to finish on laptop in time for european deadline. but this nasty piece of vileness nearly gave me a heart attack.
Dear Ariful
I like your virus. But it is not a powerful virus. Becuase I clean this virus. I think it is not a powerful virus. So I want more powerful virus.
[...] Ok, in questo modo dovreste aver risolto i vostri problemi, per ulterioi informazioni: http://www.mikeyleung.ca/mikiwiki/index.php?title=Disk_Knight http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/diskknight.html http://www.mikeyleung.ca/2007/08/07/disk-knight/ [...]
fine
I removed it from add and control panel first, then formatted it later, seems likes its gone. In that sense, its not appearing from nowhere everytime certain actions are performed hence making it believe to be a annoying program. I checked the Autorun file on computer, and disk knight. exe, even in the window registery system, No where is it found.
As a layman, I can only advise u this.
Hi…
I read on a forum about problems to open files after removing “Knight.exe”. Would you please confirm that removing c:\windows\knight.exe is the right way to solve the problem?
from my understanding (i haven’t seen the recent versions of this annoying program), it should be removed using the add/remove programs dialog box from the control panel FIRST, and then you could proceed to delete knight.exe from the c:windows directory.
otherwise I wouldn’t go about deleting it the way you have described, giammario. the newest version may also tamper with the windows registry..
I suppose no need to remove from window registery. Window does not register it. It runs on stand alone autorun file-like any other software. Simply go to > control panel>add and remove pro>remove diskknight
thereafter, insert USB flash disk, format it by clicking on right side, do it twice. and it will be gone.
make sure to back up ur data on the same computer. And its done. May be there will be more layers to learn about its hidden files or so on. then kindly submit here. Everybody would be benefitted. But please no more accademic crap
what this? is not a good program is only more trash for the web, that must be remove, you arift islam are a bad programator, if you want to. if you want to eliminate this, i use panda 2008 and it display when you insert the drive usb, ” dou you want to run knigth ” you must say not, then make a backup of your files, and format. if you now are infected in your pc delete the entry´s of regedit and delete the knigth.exe
the power of mexican…….. please dont make more of this malware are insane. do you know something like “sentido comun” this phrase is in spanish
I need help!.. my pc wont let me see hidden or system files so how can i erase the stupid Knight thing from my psp memory card? it is draining resources like crazy!

I made a terrible mistake of deleting Knight.exe in the Windows folder and now all the apps can’t be activated by a simple double-click. How do I remedy this?
I would suggest reinstalling Disk Knight in some way and seeing if that restores access. Otherwise first check if you have completely deleted the knight.exe application from your machine or simply moved it to the recycle bin?
it acts like a virus pl show the path to stop this program
help my pc broke i hate this virus please kill ariful in the name of Ala
I used disk night and fall a problem that it always try to access all programs of windos that will be start and while working very important task without saving in that time if I want to use usb flash drive than all programs are automatically close and come to the dasktop and running disknight. Is it a virus?
Dear Arif,
I’m astonish to know about the software. Does it work properly?
If it is work properly than why this complain occars? Do you develop new one that also free and more effective. Please do something.
Sikder
I’m from Chile, you know, South America…Why do I have this Disk Knight in my pendrive!…I didn’t ask for it!.. is it bad? I’m tired of getting viruses…how can this be a “good” virus…there is not such a thing!…is it?
please let me know how to get rid of it!
Firstly, this IS a virus. It installs with out the user knowing. I think the best way to go about this task that Ariful tried would be to ask the user if they would like to install this program.
Secondly, all the info about the “virus” is displayed in the task bar when a usb disk is inserted. so just read about how to get rid of it there. and it is deleted easily enough, just enable hidden files.
Oh.. and DANY please read the forums before u ask questions that have been answer already!
Steps to remove disk Knight:
1) Using the “show hidden files & folders” option from the toolbar, delete the “autorun.inf” & “Diskknight.exe” from your usb storage.
2)After inserting your usbdrive, hold shift key to prevent disk knight to run.
3)Using Add/Remove from Control Panel, remove the DisK Knight.
4)Type “msconfig” in the RUN from the start menu. Select “start up items” and uncheck Knight and Reboot your PC.
5)Search for any file that contain “knight” in your ‘C:\Windows’ directory and delete them permanently.
And a piece of ADVICE for Mr. Ariful…..
Let the anti-virus softwares do their job. Don’t try to be a hero.
HI! i need help. just deleted disk knight from my pc but now my thumb drives not opening (in my computer, the disk knight shield icon is appearing). When i try to open it, windows prompts me to choose a program to open it. I badly need the content of this drive. Is there no way to get a hold of my files again?
ARGH!!!!
I want to get relief from disk knight. its trerrible, its works like more than a virus. pls give the solution.
I made the mistake of deleting the knight.exe file on my Windows directory. After that I couldnt open any .exe . Luckily searching on the web I found a file that can restore registry associations.
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/exefile.htm
for Arif… dont need 2 b a samaritan for no good reason… go get a job in norton..or start ur own company then maybe we’ll pay for your damn genius trickier stronger than devil software
I had this horrible annoying thing in my pendrive and managed to remove it safely from both the pendrive and my pc, but the .exe files association was corrupted. I must say THANK YOU to the creator of that DOS application to restore it!
I don’t know why, but for some reason disk knight seams to NOT infect Windows XP Media Center Edition.
my pen drive was infected with disk knight and i tried all the procedures you have suggested by it cannot be deleted/reformatted coz the pen drive is write-protected. how can unprotect my pen drive to get rid of the virus? thanks, please help.
Why make all these hullabaloos? True that Disk Knight works like a virus but it is not malicious. Moreover it is pretty easy to remove. If you don’t like the program just follow any of the methods mentioned in the comments by other authors and it will be gone. Easiest way is to remove it from the add-remove program.
Now to Ariful.
Dear, you sure have potential. But this is not the right way to do good things. I know your intention was good. But let people choose whether they need your help or not. Do not impose it on others. The real trick to make good software is to reach the ultimate goal and yet respect the users right. Next time you come up with a new program just keep this in mind.
Till you antivirus products successfully blocks and cleans Disk Knight you can download and try this tool to block disk knight.

ape benda ni semua
disk knight is a disgusting & worst creation of dirty guy
Ariful è un prepotente e manca di rispetto al prossimo
Putang ina mo whoever you are who made Disk Knight
all procedures and suggestions prove futile. can anyone have a new idea on how to unprotect the pen/flash drive that is “write-protected by the disk knight virus”? Any command (even a simple copy or delete in any of the files stored in the pen drive) cannot be executed since the pen drive is “write-protected”. the attirbutes cannot be editted also because it is write-protected by the virus. help, please. thanks. i think my last option is to buy a new pen drive. lol, hehehe…
Arif.
your diskknight is very bad & disturbful program.
pls dont distribute it free.

Disk Knight sucks it even infected my Ipod. DK is probably one of the most stupid software invented. Arif next time you create a software please just keep it to yourself. . . because only a handful people wants your stupid software. . .

This virus has infected and slowed down my computer. Right now I am trying to get rid of it using the above information. Each pen drive, camera memory stick and even my iPod got infected, it’s awful and such a waste of my time.
This Softwate was great! but saddly there is good side and BAD side. for all of you guys out there whom disappointed by this software please follow the DK removal guide above.. PINOY ROCKS!!!
I am in trouble guys
I am unable to folder options and see hidden files and I am unable to access task manager by ctrl+alt+del and i m also unable to run cmd
pls help me guys
Thank You very much for helpful information, how destroy this awfull virus aplication !!!! My antivirus was powerless. Peter
Use Avast Antivirus
*update your definitions
*inject the USB Disk infected
*Scan The USB Disk infected
*When the virus is detected by avast Move to chest or Delete It. (autorun.inf and Knight.exe)
*(The Drive will still not open after deleting the virus)
*Safely Remove the USB drive and insert it again.
The USB will now be clean!
My PC was not yet infected by the Virus because Avast doesnt allow the USB to open.
I think this will be helpful to the people who will yet be infected.
Dear Arif, lots of people are cursing you, and I do not want to use no more. If you think this is a good program, do not afraid to give your contact address or your cell phone. Let me talk to RAB, and supply your information to them, and they will handle nicely. In Bangladesh only RAB is the last solution.
bro.. arif… its a good try… but when u put any soft for beta testing then pls say all about ur soft……. and i like ur idea…..sounds like a good idea.
keep it up…. and dont give up… show all the ppl…….
oh thanks i’ve been trying to get rid of that virus for some time now, i liked the explanation on the wiki page
Ai kamda ki korlen Bhai?
i can not find autorun.inf in my drive c”, i can not delete knight in my drive c”. i hope u can help me fixing my problem in these virus…
Took your advice and followed your instructions…so far so good…that security center icon has disappeared from the USB key…I think that means I’m free….
And arif…why do you need to hide yourself in hidden files…..just be clear about what you’re doing so people can simply say NO! It’s not software if the user dosen’t choose to upload it….didn’t they teach you that at university…i think you’ll find it under ethics!

I u hrvatsku se dosetal taj virus/antivirus, kaj vec je…. i zelim ga maknut!!!!
I am B.S.Mehra from Gurgaon. If Disk Knight is a virus than I’ll remove it as soon as from my pen drive,if it’s not a virus & protect our data from virus than I will say & sing that “Tum Jo Nahi To Kuch Bhi Nahi hai……….”
it is too strong!!! even i tried 2 format my laptop.it protacts the hard disk. so that i can’t findout the hard disk. i gonna kill this ppl who made ou this shit things.it spolied my laptop!!!
Alleged security software, named Disk Knight, is developed by a Bangladeshi student and its idea is simple: if a USB key is protected by Disk Knight the program will prevent the launch of any other process on the computer and display a message prompting the user to block or allow the starting process.
Since USB malware is typically launched when the USB key is inserted, Disk Knight can prevent any virus from infecting the computer via that route. This sounds like a good idea.
However, the problem is in the implementation. Once the Disk Knight program is installed and starts protecting the computer, it will copy itself to every inserted “unprotected” USB key, making it “protected”. Furthermore, if the newly protected USB key is subsequently inserted into another computer, Disk Knight will run and install itself onto the computer, all without the user’s consent. This behaviour and the lack of control from the user side makes Disk Knight a computer virus.”
(-Buckeye042, Yahoo! Answers)
I have already been infected, again, by this alleged security software a few days ago… Fortunately, I have already known how to remove it including the installed components in my PC, like in the registry and windows folder, WITHOUT FORMATING ANY OF MY DISK…
First, make all files visible and unhide protected operating system files.
Second, go to Windows Folder, look for the Knight.exe file and delete it.
Third, open your disk (USB) and look for the Knight.exe and the autorun.inf files, delete them.
Fourth, Open the Ccleaner sofware, (you can download it from http://www.ccleaner.com for free). Run the Cleaner, then Scan and fixed Issues that will be detected.
Fifth, disconnect your USB then reinsert.
Sixth, after you have tried all these steps and Knight.exe is still in view, e-mail me @ friendly_bug_x2@Yahoo.com
I have also known some risk upon the removal of disk Knight.exe – other applications installed in your computer will no longer work. It seems like when you open an application, the “open with…” window will pop up. And I have no other idea to fix this problem than this…
Start menu>run> then type “recover.reg” then press Ok.
Have a great day!…
How do you remove “disk knight” if you’re using Windows Vista?
hola: disculpas pero voy a escribir en castellano, trabajo en un “Cyber-Cafe” en Argentina, y he tenido problemas con ese tipo de virus; lo único que saque de conclución: “que es peor el remedio que la enfermedad”

No doubt Disc Knight is a unwanted disturbing programm. Mr. Arif plz do something better if you have the solution to get remove from this Virus. If You r a good programmer then try to make a new Anti-Virus and provide it to the users.
New versions of certain program is made to overcome the limitations of its previous version, but…
an upgrade or new version of unwanted program will always to be UNWANTED!…
…are made…
TANG INA MO ARIFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BULLSHIT KA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are a solution of the disk knight virus and all other pen drive virus. Please check it at http://www.pendrive.tk
For Mr. Leung, Thanks for the info.
Piece of advice for the guy who made this ‘anti-virus’ virus, The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Please. Don’t make anymore programs. Even if your intent is good, your execution sucks.
yep…good intentions doesnt always justify the outcome…
Disk Knight is good for because all viruses cant enter my computer. but i ask my self where did i get this kind of application, so i make some research and now you answer my question thanks!!!
muhammed is gay
just woke up this morning wondering what the hell this crap was…thanks to google i found this page
good night and good bye disk knight
Dear Friends, If u want to remove Disk Knight then enter to the Control panel of your computer. Enter to Add & Remove Program folder then u can see there Disk Knight as an installed program. After that just click on Remove & yes.
Disk Knight will be gone forever.
it’s horrible

And for all the people out there…my sympathies…i know now annoying this disc knight can be…
Thanks Mr. Mehek (though I didn’t understand much your message)… But… it might be better perhaps if you just address that “sympathies” to the one who made Disk Knight.
To the One who made it:
===> Hey!… Do you have another… “Junk”?…
Ma vai a cagare con il tuo disk knight del cazzo!

To remove
1. open your pc in safe mode
2. search for “knight”
3. delete all the files
4. restart yr pc
and to clean the flash drive u can try this software
http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/Flash_Disinfector.exe
To Mr Maruf…
I think it’s better if you clean your flash drive first, before you clean your pc using the procedure 1-2-3. Considering the characteristics, the behavior of alleged security software Disk Knight.exe, it will install itself the moment you insert the infected flash drive to your pc. So, inserting the flash drive after you have removed Disk Knight from your PC is not a good move.
Hello guys, i reached this site a little late. This because, i’ve done that instructions by my own way and successfully deleted the program from a friend’s pen. Now that im reading those instruction i can see that ive done like said.
. How can i recover the pen drive now? 
But i have a important problem, after removing the program the windows now dont identify the pen, it runs automatically, the “take action” windows is empty, and when i dclick the pen directory it prompts me with wich program i would like to open it
thanks.
this is a very nice solution for this fucking “software”: download antiknight form http://www.plusexpert.cl/download/AntiKnight.rar.
Decompress it and open the folder.
Plug your pen drive or mp3 player.
Execute the “Antiknight” icon.
Press the button on the window’s right-upper corner.
Unplug your Pen drive or mp3 player.
Reboot your system.
Tadaaaaa! no more FUCKING disk knight!
P.S. program only works in windows XP
To Mr. Tiago…
you access/open your pen through windows explorer… like for example, you can just right click the Start Menu and select Explore, then select your pen from the folders (left) to view your files… just like that… To fix the problem, you can try this…
(1) show all hidden files and folders and unhide protected operating system files…
(a) Start menu >> Settings >> Control Panel
(b) Dclick Folder Options >> Select View Tab
(c) Select “Show hidden files and folders
(d) Uncheck ” Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)”
(e) Click Ok
(2) Open your pen through windows explorer then look for the autorun.inf file, delete it.
(3) Scan your pen with anti-virus software.
(4) Disconnect your pen from your pc. then re-insert it.
Now, you can test if these steps resolved the problem.
Have a great day!
Anybody,
will formatting the USB drive prevent it from spreading to other pc havent infected by the file? Thanks
Yes. But before you format it, be sure that Disk Knight is already uninstalled or cleaned from your PC…
Arif

Dear Mr . Ariful
I think your program is a virus, for it installs unwanted
and mess up pens and computers tampering all processes
and files.
I think you should be jailed and charged for all loss of time and
damages you caused.
Mutha Fuckin’ Banger that Arif is, my computer is screwed, may he burn in hell with all the Muslims in the world!

Disk Night sucks big time. My USB, my phone, my laptop is now infected. Grrrrr…..
AriFool Islam your name says it all, Ur parents was apt in choosing just the correct name for you. Your balls should be crushed and fed to maggots that feed on pigs carcases. Although you claim that your software is for the betterment of the general public , it clearly shows your vested interest of more evil than good. Not surprising comming from a place like Bangadesh which is among the top countries harboring and infiltrating terrorism to India and other countries.
Too bad your software is useless. AVG v8 and a lot other ant-viruses are already added Disk Knight in their virus defination.
You should put in your resume, there are a hundred of your brethren who will gladly take you in Al-Queda or some -e- muhajideen group.
As long as there are vermin like you out there , you can keep dishing out your ineffectual virus disguise them as you like, there is always a solution.
when infected, open task manager and kill Knight from the process.
Update to AVG 8.0 v
Plug your infected USB keeping shift pressed down
scan ur pc, after AVG picks up disk night as a Worm VB.BVK, heal it,
scan all removable pen drives, heal them with AVG,
run regedit, find ‘Knight’ and delete all registry entries made by knight
run msconfig , check if knight is there in the start up list
check USB drives in DOS for knight.exe
Format the usb drives
and thats it.

Arif, We need to talk. Visit my website. Sss13x.co.nr and leave a feedback including your email. This is for your own good. Do as I say or you shall suffer like no one else. And I ain’t joking.
Hope you have a good day
Faithfully yours

Hello Arif,
I like Bangladesh. Such amazing country! “Amazing what come from that country!” I tell my wives. I dreamed of seeing place one day.
But not to be. I come not to Bangladesh, my children not come to Bangladesh, my wives not come to Bangladesh. Reason being, government tell me “Not go to Bangladesh, viruses come from that country”
I not believe it. My wives not believe it. But government show me proof, they show me “Knight.exe” install itself and not ask for permission! They tell me that if I bring virus back from Bangladesh, they charge me with great crime!
Mohammed, not be Fool. Arif try make great program, but he make mistake. He ruin my dream. His virus scare my great country, and I not get to make trip.
Arif, learning experience this be. Not write viruses, write anti-viruses!
Hi Li Hung, maaf for bad virus from country. virus not contagus only for small children who not take vitamin. pleese forgive my brother arif for his mistake. He not chriminal. bless arif in da name of allah.
Maaf? I not understand.
Vitamin great for small child, but not so great for USB.
What is great for USB to delete “Knight.exe”. But it come back. Delete again. It come back. Where it come from? That is question my great people ask.
Arif is not criminal. Evil work through Arif though, make Arif make great mistake! Fight Arif, not let Evil use you soul! Not destroy, create! Make great antivirus of making amends!
Li Hung my friend. Maaf is for extreme apology. If you come my country i let you and wife and children and animal stay in house for free. you give me ok and i give you digits.
Mohammed, you are great person!
Can not bring USB too, it not get through customs because of “Knight.exe”.
Where from?

Download the new version of Disk Knight (Ver:5) from http://www.ariful.esmartweb.com. Disk Knight Verion:5 has overcome all the
limitations of version:4. I promise you’ll enjoy it. One more word, Disk Knight is neither an antivirus nor a virus but it had to have some attribute like a virus to reach its ultimate goal: “Say goodbye to mobile disk viruses”.
New version fix ALL problems you guys have. Sorry for mistake.
New one is great! Remember “You can’t beat a Devil if you are weaker or less trickier than that.”
Mohammed, please don’t post porn links.

Dear guys,
Thanks a lot for providing me the method to safe guard my external disk. I was suffering with this file for many days finally, under the site I recieved a proper solution.

its not that hard to delete this disk knight. i just deleted this virus. i scan the pen drive using avast anti virus and i deleted the virus. then i back up my pen drive and formatted it. then i restored the back up files to the pen drive and now the problem is settled! oh yeah, avg anti virus can detect this virus also.
Dear Ariful Islam, you have nice Islamic name. try to be nice because you represent Islam and Muslims. may Allah guide you and me.
