body,first thing you must do is clean your pc,cos it may contain a virus.

stop your avg,turn of system restore,turn off internet connection.then use combofix to clean your windows system from virus.after finish,restart your pc.then open My Documents -klick Tool-folder option-view-uncheck show hidden-hide extensions....-hide protected.... then plug your usb drive-deleted autorun.inf-rename your usb drive.then scan your usb drive with other antivirus software(don't use avg,try to use avira or ansav)

The best way is to download Ccleaner here http://bitly.com/UrALrK



Or you can go on Windows operating system locate the command prompt and go there to do the following:

Create a Recovery file of system and date it today.



Then begin by;

delete the 'Temp' folders..they have hidden subfolders so you need to set the attributes in order to bypass this. For each subfolder delete all cookies and rubbish left behnd after install-uninstalled programs. Do a 'dir' command to check your progress. Make sure the 'Temp' file is empty.



goto c:\windows\prefetch and delete everything in there..no exceptions



goto c:\windows folder and delete all the '$' files that have been installed by updates. They can all be succesfully deleted and just take up disk space.



Locate the Internet Temporary Files..Check to see how high the saving level is..some have it set at 30 days..but that stores faaaar tooo much data..though it slows down the system overal. Keep this to a minimum..suggest 2 or 5 at most.



Delete all 'cookies' all those you don't need.



Locate the windows directory and go through the folders you know and those you don't need. Check this once a week at least. Some programs will install under XP as NT and older systems where there is no check of systems weight.



Check to see that system files have not changed since last booting. Things like .ini files or .bat are important items.





Check for 'Hidden Directories' all over the disk...do this at the command prompt:



dir *.* /ah wil show these hidden directories



Check the 'dir' command for all parameters

go to Start==> Run, type 'msconfig' and press enter. In the new window select Startup tab and uncheck all programs that are not installed by you or that you don't know. Now click 'Apply' and then 'OK'. Now restart your computer, after restarting do not open any drive until you complete the following process.



1:- Open 'My Computer' in menu toolbar click Tools==>Folder Options. Select 'View' tab. now select 'Show hidden files' radio button, uncheck 'Hide extensions for known file types', uncheck 'Hide protected system files' and click Apply and then OK.

Now right click on C: drive and select explore (do not open drives by double clicking).

2:- In the drive delete 'autorun.inf' and every hidden file having extension .exe or bat except 'autoexec.bat' and 'boot.ini., these are system files.

3:- repeat step 2 for every drive, log off your computer and open drives every thing should be fine.



you can again hide your files
