Hello,
Try this 1
Since you are using Windows 7 you need to open the Command Prompt as
administrator to run the attrib command. But 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 --> In search bar, type regedt32 and press Enter.
[If you are using Windows XP then 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"
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 --> In search box, type cmd. When the cmd appears in the
search list, right-click on it and select "Run as administrator".
[ If you are using Windows XP then click on "Start" --> Run --> Type cmd and
press Enter.]
"Command Prompt" will be opened.
Here I assume your 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 that 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
