How to Eliminate Virus Autorun.inf From FlashDisk




Flash is a device which is widely used for various purposes of exchanging data. This device became media practical and very compact to carry. However, flash media is currently the most frequently used as a carrier virus, trojans, worms and the like. No exception other data storage devices including MP3 players, MP4 players, Memory Card, Memory Stick, SD Card, MMC and other removable data storage media based USB.

One of the viruses that can be detected directly (either by antivirus and visual) is autorun.inf virus. This autorun.inf file is most likely used by the virus to activate the files needed to carry out the action. What is surprising is the autorun.inf file is developed such that it is now very difficult to eradicate by using antivirus though.
First, each time finding autorun.inf, then I can easily remove it from the flash. However, some time later it developed into a file autorun.inf file hidden (read: hidden), so the explorer application must always be activated with the mode that can display hidden files. Even this is still quite an effective way to determine the presence and at the same autorun.inf file can be destroyed in a way removed easily. Later, it turns out this autorun.inf file has been given a new ability, which is to file "system" and not at all visually presence can be felt, even by antivirus though.
Although the virus is invisible to the eye, but the action can still be felt when the flash is plugged into the USB port, then the program will offer to run the application on the flash automatically. Means, in the existing flash files that can be run automatically.
Own autorun.inf file is a file that can be written in plain text, and contains information about what files are to be executed by the computer when a removable storage medium readable by a computer. For example, an Interactive Multimedia CD autorun.inf file that can be run without having to be ordered autoplay. Apparently this ability now much abused by the "experts" virus to launch the action.
Here is a pretty practical steps to eliminate the files: autorun.inf is not detected:

1. Boot the computer to safemode mode.

2. Run the Command Prompt application (Start> Run> cmd.exe) could also (Start> All Programs> Accessories> Command Prompt)
3. Type the USB drive (eg E: and press [Enter])
4. Type attrib-R-A-S-H AUTORUN.INF, then press [Enter]
5. Type DEL AUTORUN.INF, then press [Enter]
Once completed, the computer can restart in Normal mode.
Explanation:
Attrib is a module that is used to change the attributes of a file.
-R mode is the command to remove the "Read Only"
-A is the command mode to eliminate the "Archive"
-S is the command mode to eliminate the "System"
-H is the command mode to eliminate the "Hidden"
DEL is the command to delete the file
