Undesirable Thread that uses the Autorun feature

**Rajeev D** · 18-01-2010

Hi, I am MCA student of first year. I have four projects in my syllabus. I must have to collect the information about the project. So I had conneted my USB drive to computers in my college computer lab. Most of the Computers in my college are infected by virus. So whenever I connect the USB drive the virus is automatically load on my USB. My anti-virus detects that virus but can't delete autorun.inf virus. So, I am getting afraid that my USB gets crashed due to virus. Anyone can help me to resolve this virus?

I suggest you to use the Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 Anti-virus. It helps you to detect and remove autorun.inf virus.
This anti-virus keeps your computer from various viruses that infects and hangs your computer. If you want to protect your computer from most of the viruses then periodically update Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 database.
I hope it helps you to resolved your problem. If it doesn't work then reply me.
Have Nice Day!

I think you should have to try the following steps to remove autorun.inf :-
1. Open command prompt and write del /a:rhs [Letter of the drive]:autorun.inf
2. Then Simply Replace [Letter of the drive] with your drive. Suppose If the virus is on the E drive the commad will be
del /a:rhs E:autorun.inf
3. After that Restart your computer.
And you noticed that autorun.inf has been removed from your USB.

There is another method using command prompt is as follow:
1. Open Run and then type cmd into the input box and press Enter.
2. Then, Now to remove virus’s attributes that is in order to delete it type following line by line and execute them pressing enter.

I:
I:attrib -s -r -h *.*

If there are any uncesirable EXE files that are now visible so if not necessary then delete them too.

I:del autorun.inf

3. Remove the pendrive quickly just after the executing the del command.
4. Open your pendrive without virus activation config. file. Now you can Able to easily and safely delete unnecessary EXE files on it.
