How to remove Autorun.inf Virus

Ever wonder 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…

1. Boot your system in Safemode
2. Open your flash drive via Command Prompt (do this via Start->Run->cmd.exe).
3.
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)
4. Type ATTRIB -H -R -S AUTORUN.INF then press enter

After reboot, you can now access your drive.
