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 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
