Run--CMD--
ATTRIB -H -S -R c:\Autorun.inf
if the file is found in the Drive then give.
DEL c:\Autorun.inf.
similarly you can do it for all drives.by adding d:\ or e:\
& if you dont want this trouble again just write MKDIR c:\autorun.inf for each drive, this will create folder so that virus can't attack again if it already exist.
its a virus .it makes autorun files in every drive.
u install avast 4.8 & update it
this will solve this
i installed avast home edition but it does not update at all , I tried clickin on update but nothin happens...and I am sufferin from same prob every time I click on any drive it opens in new window....

open -Run-Regedit-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell Type OPEN in the File data box, click OK, and exit the registry editor.


THAT'st Your problem have been solved.

That's standard Windows behavior. Right click and choose "Explore" that may be the screen you want.
