virus

I have recently got a virus C:\autorun.inf
worm/autorun\


This is my best interpretation thus far.

I only have AVG free edition now and wonder if I can remove this? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Re: Help please

Found this hope it will help,good luck.


first run your system in safe mode, then go to your my computer properties and enable the system restore function.
then restart your computer and run in command prompt mode. in the command mode type the following.
ATTRIB Autorun.inf -H -S -R.
if the file is found in the Drive then give.
DEL Autorun.inf.
<similarly you can do it for all drives. but you have to restart your system for each drive.>
