Autorun.inf Removal from Flash

Most of us suffer removing Infected Autorun.inf from pc or flash, wish controls spreading viruses.

Here is a good way to remove it manually by using cmd.

1. Open run then write "cmd" click ok.
2. Get the place where you want to check, if it's a flash get its Drive. (For example it's drive E).
3. Write the path of drive (E:).
4. You'll find the current cmd shows the path of flash. (E:\ __)
5. Write "attrib", which shows all files in the flash then Enter. (E:\attrib)
6. Check whether there is a file called autorun.info or any file written beside it SHR.

Notes:
>>Most of the time it'll be hidden in normal window but it'll be shown in cmd.
>>SHR -- Specification of the file as "system" file can be modified or deleted and H for "hidden".

7. Write "attrib -s -h -r infected file path" (E:\attrib -s -h -r e:\autorun.inf).
8. Now file isn't system file or hidden, you now can delete easily.
9. Write "del filepath". (E:\del e:\autorun.inf).

Voila, Now your Flash is clean... :)
