Hello,
Try this 1
1) Disable the "Autoplay" feature. Click on the below link "Disable Autoplay",
and download the file --> Double-click on it and follow the instructions.
Disable Autoplay
2) Disable the "Autorun.inf". Click on the below link and follow the instructions.
First backup your registry. Click on Start --> Run --> Type regedt32 and press
Enter. "Registry Editor" will be opened.
( If you are using Windows 7, Start --> In search bar--> Type regedt32 and press
Enter.)
Now backup your registry by going to "File --> Export" --> Save the file with any
name in your desired location.
Copy the text starting from "REGEDIT4" upto @="@SYS:DoesNotExist"
Open a "Notepad" --> Paste it --> Save the file as fix.reg
Note: Don't forget the extension "reg"
Now double-click on the fix.reg file and then click on "Yes" to merge it,
[Note : After following the above instructions, whenever you place any autoplay
CD\DVD all you have to do is go to "My Computer" --> Open the CD\DVD drive
--> You have to double-click on the setup file.]
3) Click on the below link and download the file "AutorunExterminator"
https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/5911-autorun-exterminator/
Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator" --> Plug your External drive
now. This will remove the autorun.inf files from drives and and also from your
External drive.
[Note : Make sure Dot Net Framework is installed in your PC.
4) Download the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from the below link
https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/4621-malwarebytes-anti-malware/
Update the " Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware"
Plug your External drive and then perform "Full Scan"
Good Luck
