    Resolved [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

    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?
