Kasperky seems to have deleted the AutoRun worm, which is correct. You may have to delete the hidden file named autorun.inf from the hard drive's root, as well. Note that if Windows XP SP2 is installed, presence of Autorun.inf won't affect the local (hard disk) drives. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Ken199" <Ken199@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5F814BE3-9AD7-4657-8D62-F8BA6FE5720C@microsoft.com... I have good news and bad news now. The good news is that I finally found the bug after I scanned my PC using Kaspersky. This is the report: Detected -------- Status Object ------ ------ deleted: virus Virus.VBS.AutoRun.b File: F:\WVCST.VBS deleted: virus Virus.VBS.AutoRun.b File: C:\wvcst.vbs deleted: virus Virus.VBS.AutoRun.b File: E:\wvcst.vbs deleted: virus Virus.VBS.AutoRun.b File: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WVCST.VBS deleted: virus Virus.VBS.AutoRun.b File: E:\System Volume Information\_restore{9FEDF596-7D68-4428-8D3C-2648499CB3D3}\RP41\A0006577.vbs deleted: virus Virus.VBS.AutoRun.b File: C:\System Volume Information\_restore{9FEDF596-7D68-4428-8D3C-2648499CB3D3}\RP41\A0006578.vbs::$DATA deleted: virus Virus.VBS.AutoRun.b File: C:\System Volume Information\_restore{9FEDF596-7D68-4428-8D3C-2648499CB3D3}\RP41\A0006576.vbs::$DATA The bad news is after I deleted that bugger I have a new problem now.

I tried to use search function, checked search for hidden files and folders but only 1 autorun.inf was found and that's on my nero folder. Where can I find my hard drive root? Sorry I'm not good at doing advanced stuffs. |

Click Start, and then click Control Panel Double-click Folder Options On the View tab, under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders Now browse C:\ and other drives using Windows Explorer. Look for and delete the file named "Autorun.inf" from the drive's root. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Ken199" <Ken199@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E82D8F85-427E-4FE6-B37B-3B78E14360E1@microsoft.com...

Also, to display protected files, clear the "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" check box in the Folder Options dialog. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Ken199" <Ken199@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:80C07A10-2273-4A63-824E-4C80B3A69577@microsoft.com...

At first I didn't know if it worked because I still have the same problem after deleting it. After I've restarted my PC it returned to normal. Thank you very much Ramesh. I'm glad you're there to help me out. Hope you can help more people like me out there. Many thanks to you again. Problem solved. |
