Great article indeed. I also suffered from this kind of attack but I usually reformat the drive rather than cleaning it. Anyway, it's just a flash usb drive.

Thanks, Renz

Download Disinfecter form the above link provided & it will do the job.

but i cant able to delete it from my sd card….

In Sd Card Autorun.inf is a requirement itself. Why do you want to remove it? It cant be removed as it is need to autoplay automatically when use din the SD device.

OMG thanks so much! I've been having problems with the autorun worm..i'm so happy it's all ok now thanks to this article!

I am also happy that these methods are helping many people.

thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx a lot,it helped me!!!!!!!!!!!

But the same happens to me, in my SD Card, Autorun.inf is detected as a threath, and I cant delete nor reformat my card…what does this mean?

Nice post to be safe from usb virus

follow my instructions to protect your pendrive or removable forever from autorun.inf
1st open notepad and type @echo off
del *.inf
2nd save this in the infected directory(directory containing autorun) as something.bat
3rd on saving start it once.
4th then as quick as possible open notepad again and type: [Autorun]
open=
ACTION=
5th save this in with the previous file(save this file as autorun.inf)

DONE—-now autorun virus will never infectthat drive ever.

3rd

When executing “del autorun.inf” command I get a message: “The process cannot access the file because it is being used by? another process”. However, after killing Explorer.exe process in task manager the file can be deleted. BUT… Each time I insert a pendrive into my PC a new copy of the virus is placed on it. Apparently this virus created a backup somewhere on the system and it's not in the root directories.

Wow! It's done by 3rd method. Thanks!

I took some stuff to printing and when I cam home I discovered two new files on my pendrive: autorun.inf and a folder that looks like recycle bin. These were hidden by I always keep the option to see hidden files enabled. When you click on the folder you just get to your recycle bin and see the files you have deleted, nothing more. But if you rar the folder and open the archive you can see that it contains an exe file and Desctop.ini file. I noticed that when I stick the pendrive into USB csrss.exe process appears in task manager for a moment under my user name. csrss.exe shoulb appear only as a system process and be located at system32 directory, otherwise it's a virus. So I made a search for csrss.exe and besides the legit one I found another at C:/ Documents and Settings/ My username directory. It's a little bit different type of autorun virus. That's how you deal with it:
1. Open Run
2. Open CMD
3. Terminate explorer.exe process in task manager. This virus uses explorer's process therefore you won't be able to delete it as long as explorer is running.
3. Navigate to pendrive and use “del autorun.inf” command.
4. Navigate to C:/ Documents and Settings/ Your username directory and use “del csrss.exe” command
5. Restore explorer by typing explorer.exe in RUN, go to the pendrive and delete the recycle bin folder.

To prevent pendrive viruses in the future download a free program called “Autorun Eater”.

THank you team,

It is very useful for all IT Guys.

hey… i have already tried deleting autorun through command prompt using erase command, but either it shows could not find autorun.inf…and if my antivirus detects and deletes it …it is back as soon as i connect my pendrive next time to my computer,…
hey can u tell me something to get rid of it permanently…

Use the third method, download & run Flash Disinfector. I think that will solve the problem permanently.

That can be a reason, a backup copy of autorun.inf is replicating itself to your pendrive. Use latest antivirus like Avast's Boot time Scan. Its the best I have ever seen.

You can turn off the Windows Autorun Feature. It can be a great help in prohibiting entry of various autorun virus that can harm windows.

It couldn't find autorun.inf because the file is hidden and you need to use “attrib -h -r -s” command before applying “del”.This video explains you how to get rid of it for good:

thanks a lot…….it was great…….

hmmm thanksssss

Thanks to 3 rd options works !!!!!! great!

hii rajesh diz is kasi….how to instal windows xp with pendrive.

What is the name of this virus so far? I mean, everybody names it “autorun.inf” It should have a “more formal” name like “W32somthing” (for example as Symantec Co. names viruses ). I'd like to remove this from the system, not a mere USB, the virus keeps respawning.

Thanks for solving my headache. My USB often has autorun.inf.

Very thorough post which has no doubt helped many people already. Thanks.

well this is nice, it helped me. get rid of those unwanted autorun

Thank you, very much.

hea simple method to protect USB..open notepad-> save it as “autorun.inf” in desktop..a icon display in desktop..copy the icon n paste in USB..it ask replace option..click YEs..n now ur USB is safe,,get enjoy

Thanks, Juju for sharing this here , but it will not work in most of the cases where Hard drives or the system is infected with autorun.inf. But one can try this for sure.

thanx buddy could you tel me same to remove from pc..

try this command as well it shud work
open command prompt and type
del c:autorun.* /f/s/q/a and hit enter .Simultaneously replace c with the drive letter correspondingly.

actually the easiest way is to stop explorer.exe from taskmanager, then ” x:/ del autorub.inf ” will solve the pblm.

I do all this manual process but a message showing “Access is denied”. I cant do. how can i solv this

Thank' for your tips brother

I think you should first log as Admin account on your system & then go for these.

Thanks for the help, it worked in winows 7 ultimate 64 bit N as well. Thanks

thnks sir,,,,it is good method ever for me

Nice one. Method Third helped me indeed!

yah.. bongga.. it's effective:)_)

first two method's won't work for me !!!

Thanks for this you would be suprised how many people wont let you use a memory stick if it has even the slightest sign of infection even though you know it is harmless which this autorun one seems to be. i decided enough was enough when my new 32GB Lexar flash drive. I cannot afford to have it keep happening i have now blasted the git to oblivion and now i can use my memory stick anywhere without the worry of it being rejected by people that need to take things from it.

It Doesn't work I tried them all but the autorun can't be deleted it is overprotected or the program is currently in use

Finally I got rid of autorun.inf virus…. thank you so much for this article.
G Jethwa.
