The autorun.inf virus, more recently, also worsened, and recently hit a double-click the drive letter not open, even in the context menu, select "Open" also prompted the error. You need to know which to save a lot of useful information, if the format, then on the whole did not, wondering if there is no way it? Inadvertently discovered a super-simple solution. Open the Explorer, in the left directory tree, click on the infected drive letter, when the content in the right pane, it shows the contents of sub-region. Find the Autorun.inf file, double-click open, find the call of the goal, along with the Autorun.inf file to delete it. All the best.

The virus has a very obvious external characteristics, but it is often easy but a little surprise. Easy to overlook the reason why is because it does not make your computer slow down, so a lot of people do not note. But if we double-click to open U disk, not in the current window open, but in a new window opens, then there may be poisoned. At this time in the "My Computer" and right-click the drive letter, to see at the top of what is an order that, if "Auto", rather than the normal "Open", then the possibility of poisoning, a further increase; But to confirm poisoning, but also requires us to enter in the address bar E: autorun.inf (E disk be replaced by the actual drive letter), if you open the file with open lines after the file is so sxs.xls.exe file, then certainly poisoned. All the best.

As the role of the virus theory is the use of an automatic playing autorun.inf file to complete, so that we can be manually removed. Open the "Folder Options" window, switch to the "View" tab, the "Hide protected operating system files" entry canceled, and then set the "Show hidden files and folders", so that we can see the disk root directory The autorun.inf file to open it, view the line after the open with the document, under normal circumstances should be sxs.xls.exe, but there are some other variant is the file name, for example, tel.xls.exe, fun.xls . exe and so on. Best of luck.

In fact, if you have installed anti-virus software, as long as the virus database upgrade to the latest version, generally can be killing. But many users reflect the use of anti-virus software, the disk can not be opened after removal. This is because the antivirus software is only removed after the open line with the document and does not clear the autorun.inf file. Double-click the partition, and we run the autorun.inf file will be automatically listed in the file open OK, but the file has been deleted will naturally be an error. Therefore, at this time we will need to use the above described method of manual removal can remove the autorun.inf file. Check and reply.

In fact very simple, through the introduction we have seen earlier, the virus is running mainly triggered by double-clicking when the autorun.inf file to complete. If we do not double-click, instead of using right-click the drive letter and select "Open" or "Explorer" command to view the content of U disk, so that autorun.inf file will not run, naturally, will not be infected with virus. All the best.
