Hello,
Did you use usbfix or findykiller or other utilities to remove viruses before? Please right click on it then select properties and tell me its size . Please don't try to open it

Hi Jomaru,
Try this free application "AutoRunExterminator", just click on this link to
download the file
http://www.insidecore.net/are/autorunexterminator.zip
Extract that file---->double click on it--->if it finds any autorun files, it
automatically deletes them. Click on the "AutoRunExterminator" icon in the
system tray to find the results.

Hello Jack,
Tell me, just to satisfy my curiosity. How did you manage to find the above Brazilian site? Do you sleep at night? How many minutes?

Hello Jack,
Please tell me how are you sure that it's not a safe file of anti-virus tools vaccination?
How are you sure there's no virus associated?
Don't you think that it would be necessary to perform a system and removable cleaning (HD, USB...)?
Thank you

Hi toubib32,
Most of the virus files depend on autorun.inf for execution. I just provided him the
alternate way to get rid-off autorun.inf files because jomaru was getting frustrated with the
autorun files. Just double clicking on that application removes all the autorun.inf files from all
the drives at a time and it won't pop up saying found autoun.inf file. When it comes to system
cleaning for viruses, scanning of viruses is mandatory and every person knows about it.

Thank you for answering:)
Please tell me aren't there safe autorun.info files? I learned that even microsoft windows can sometimes generate autorun.info files. Same thing with some usb antivirus tools when vaccination option is run.
If you know a good website talking about that please tell me.

Hi toubib,
Yes, you are right that some applications contains autorun files . Taking that into
advantage, autorun functionality has been used by malware and most of the systems are
getting affected because of this autorun.inf file. Ex : The movement you click on usb drive, if
it contains the malicious files with autorun, then autorun.inf file comes into play by executing
the virus files. By removing the autorun.inf, atleast we can minimize the risk created by
autorun files.

Indeed! I would add that autorun, in it's origine, was not malware.
