Hello,             

Try this 1             

Follow all the  steps given below       

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.              

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"             


REGEDIT4             
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf]             
@="@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".    

This will remove the autorun.inf files from drives.            

[Note : AutorunExterminator need Dot Net Framework. If its not installed in       

your laptop then click on the below hyperlink ".NET Framework" and download it       

.NET Framework]       

4) Click on "Start" --> Run --> Type cmd and press Enter.       

"Command Prompt" will be opened.       

Here I assume your drive flash 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 drive letter.       

Now check for your files in your flash drive.       

5) After that, download the "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free" from the below       

hyperlink "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free"      

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free       

Update it --> Perform "Full Scan"       

Note : Default selected option is "Quick Scan".       

Good Luck
