Tricks Removing Autorun.inf Virus

Your antivirus software has found a virus before you open your hard drive or removable media? Here are tips and tricks to clean autorun virus from hard disk or removable media, like flash, and so forth.

1. Open a command prompt on the "Start - Accessories" or to the menu "Start - Run" and type "cmd" (without quotation marks). Click Enter.
2. Type "cd" and press Enter to get the root directory "C:"
3. Type "attrib -h -r -s autorun.inf", then click Enter.
4. Type "del autorun.inf", then click Enter.
5. Perform the same process with another drive and restart computer


Tips:

- Sometimes the "cmd prompt" will display the error "file not found autorun.inf", or sometimes the actual hard drive or flash you do not have the autorun.inf file, so let your hard drive is still running as usual.
- After deleting the autorun files from all hard drives or removable media, immediately restart the computer. Try not to open a hard drive or flash before you restart your computer, or if you do not have to repeat the above procedure once again.
