How to remove autorun.inf virus

Sunday, August 2, 2009

Boot your system in Safemode
  • Go to command prompt, in Drive C do the following commands.
  • Type -> ATTRIB -H -R -S AUTORUN.INF then press enter
  • Type -> DEL AUTORUN.INF then press enter
  • Type -> ATTRIB -H -R -S Recycled then press enter
  • In Windows Explorer in Safemode, remove the folder Recycled in drive C use Shift-Delete to delete the folder.
  • Repeat Step 3 to 6 for all drives of your system including the USB drive.
  • Search for CTFMON.EXE in your system using the Search of Windows found in Start Menu. If you find a file that is not located in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, delete it immediately. Dont forget to empty the recycle bin afterwards (Usually the virus will copy itself in the Startup folder of the Startmenu. Check if the file is present there and delete it then.)
