Hi everybody,
It is very much irritating to see everytime the "autorun.inf" causing so much viral problem.
Recently I had a problem with this and wanted to delete the hidden "autorun.inf" file from my flash from command prompt.
But couldn't do so as the file was "read-only".
After a few days of searching on that I found the following solution and want to share with everybody.
To find a hidden file form command prompt:
write : dir /A:H
hidden file will be displayed.
Now how can we create a simple "blank autorun.inf"
01. Right click on the desktop choose "new" and "New Textdocument".
02. Give the file the name "autorun.inf"
Now we will replace the "autorun.inf with viral code" by the "blank autorun.inf that we have created:
01. Open command prompt by writing "cmd" in "start" ---> "run"
02. In the command prompt write the following command to replace the "viral autorun.inf":
xcopy "address of our blank autorun.inf" "address of the viral autorun.inf" /R
Example:
xcopy C:\Documents and Settings\S\Desktop\autorun.inf I:\autorun.inf /R
03. A warning will appear that "Do you want to replace the file or not?" (yes/no)
Your answer is obviously "yes" and Press enter key.
The file will be replaced. And now you can open your flash drive and HDD drive and delete other hidden and virus file.
Thank you for your time. If this does any good to your computer please send me feedback.
