How to remove Autorun.inf Virus !!

Hey do u know why your Anti Virus detects a virus in your autorun.inf whenever you insert your removable disk (USB, flash drive, et.) but it can’t disinfect it nor delete it or if you’re having a hard time accessing drives? Tried deleting it manually but you can’t find the file?

Autorun.inf is hidden and it can’t be remove or disinfected by Anti virus. And you try finding the autorun.inf file but failed even if you select to show all files from folder option?

Here’s what you need to do…

Boot your system in Safemode

Open your flash drive via Command Prompt (do this via Start->Run->cmd.exe ).
Change your logged drive to your USB flash drive (e.g. If your flash drive is at drive E: then type E: on the command prompt then press enter)
Type ATTRIB -H -R -S AUTORUN.INF
then press enter, type in “del autorun.inf” then press [Enter]

After reboot, you can now access your drive. enjoy guys !!!
