Answer 1

Windows use a text file call autorun.inf to automatically trigger setup.exe program.

Virus writer use this feature to auto trigger their virus. If your USB pendisk is infected.

The moment you plug in, you will be infected.

Answer 3

The easiest way to fix it is using Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware (Download it, update it, do a full scan, and remove everything it finds).



I would also recommend the following programs to make sure that you don't get infected again in the future:

Avira AntiVir Personal

Spyware Doctor Starter Edition

Answer 4

Type "cd c:\"



But autorun.inf is only one small part of the entire virus. You have more than one file that needs deleltion. I'd recommend a good antivirus program.

Answer 5

install and run in safe mode malwarebytes anti-malware and superantispyware and delete manually what they find. then run ccleaner to clean temp files and MVregclean for the registry

then install a good firewall like comodo pro.as an anti virus use avast,avira,clamwin all free.

C:\Documents and Settings\Tin> cd\

C:\> attrib -s -h -r autorun.inf

C:\> del autorun.inf



before that edit autorun.inf with notepad to see what virus is associated with it e.g.

autorun.inf

[autorun]

open=RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-1482476501-1644491937-682003330-1013\win32.exe

icon=%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,4

shell\open\command=RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-1482476501-1644491937-682003330-1013\win32.exe

shell\open\default=1



delete the virus source here: win32.exe
