How to remove Autorun.inf Virus



There is a very simple process to remove autorun.inf virus file. Follow the method below...

1. open up a command prompt (i.e. cmd.exe) ; to load it go to Run, type cmd, enter.
2. Now see the Four code lines highlighted below... you have to use them all one by one.
e.g. for f: drive...


F: \

F: \attrib
F: \attrib -s -h -r autorun.inf
F: \del autorun.inf

  • First for entering into any drive
  • Second, for checking virus's attributes.After pressing enter, you will see all files of that drive. Check for autorun.inf  file in them. 


You should see something like:
    SHR    Autotun.inf        C:\Autorun.inf
  • third, for changing file's  to attributes.  Usually this virus has attributes SHR(checked by second line) where S stands for system, H for hide,  R for read-only. So To clear an attribute we use  -  (the minus sign) with attrib.
