Hello,  

Try this 1  

Follow all the below given steps.

Step 1:  

Click on the below link and download the file "AutorunExterminator"  

https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/5911-autorun-exterminator/  

[Note : Make sure Dot Net Framework is installed in your PC to install the  

"AutorunExterminator" OR  

Click on the below link and download the Dot Net Framework  

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=19]  

Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator" --> Now plug your external   

hard disk.  

This will remove the autorun.inf files from your flash drive and also from drives.  

Step 2:  

Click on "Start" --> In search bar, type cmd. Right-click on the command prompt  

that appears in the search and select "Run as administrator".  

"Command Prompt" will be opened.  

(If you are using Windows XP then open the command prompt directly)  

Here I assume your external hard disk drive letter as G:  

Enter this command.  

attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*  

You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and  

paste it.  

Note : Replace the letter g with your external hard disk drive letter.  

Now check for your files in external hard disk.  

Step 3:  

After that, download the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from the below link  

https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/4621-malwarebytes-anti-malware/  

Update it --> Perform "Full Scan"  

Note : Default selected option is "Quick Scan".  

Good Luck.
