Hello,
closeup22
the folder autorun.inf(created in my pen drive as well as my n73 ) after i ran the flash_disintector) is not getting deleted. when i try to delete it a message comes stating that the folder has been created by flash_disinfector. the file cannot be deleted as the path is incorrect. i clicked on properties..... the said file has no kb and no disk space yet it shows that there is one file with read only attribute

hi,

uninstall 'flash_disinfector'.

go to task manager to kill the autorun.exe (if it is running)

go to command prompt do these steps to delete the autorun.inf:

type the drive letter of the pendrive (suppose F)

type F: > press enter

attrib > press enter

if you see the autorun.inf, and if you see S H R as well or any of them,

do this:

attrib -s -h -r autorun.inf and press enter

then the S H R should not be there, then

del autorun.inf

that's all.
