[RESOLVED] pls help [virus problem]
hi all,
i have a problem related to a virus. after a long time back i logged into my computer because i was busy with some studies...
I found a virus into my pc. which is creating its copy in each drive. i have done my best to remove it, and i have removed it many times but there is a file which is coming it back again and again. file name is
autorun.inf
in each drive this is not being displayed in the system even i have used these command...
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
D:\Documents and Settings\visual>c:
C:\>attrib -s -h autorun.inf
File not found - autorun.inf
C:\>type autorun.inf
[autorun]
Shellexecute=copy.exe
C:\>del autorun.inf
Could Not Find C:\autorun.inf
C:\>
look in my attrib command it shows File Not Found.
but when i used type command it displayed the contents of autorun.inf
this is the only problem i want to remove autorun.inf file from my system.
this file is copied in each drive of my computer.
i know i have terminated virus's exe from the Taskmanager even if .inf file is not being deleted.
pls help :(
Re: pls help [virus problem]
That file simply tells Windows how to deal with a CD.
There is no reason it should be anywhere but on a CD. Do you know what keeps recreating it?
Re: pls help [virus problem]
this file is lying in each drive on my computer. which is activating the virus each time
