Operating System : Windows Xp SP2

Antivirus : AVG 7.5 Free Edition

Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo

HDD : Seagate 160 GB

My PC is infected with Worm/Auto Run (autorun.inf) virus. I have up-to-date AVG 7.5 free edition. AVG detected this virus and healed but when I scan again, PC displays the same virus (Status-Healed).

I do not know why PC displays this information.

Would anybody help how to remove this virus?

Posted Image Hi :


Download a program called "Flash Disinfector" from

download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/Flash_Disinfector.exe and save it to your

desktop .
Double-click Flash_Disinfector.exe to run it and follow any prompts that may appear.
The utility may ask you to insert your flash drive and/or other removable drives including your mobile phone. Please do so and allow the utility to clean up those drives as well. Wait until it has finished scanning and then exit the program. Reboot your computer when done. Note: Flash Disinfector will create a hidden folder named autorun.inf in each partition and every USB drive plugged in when you ran it. Don't delete this folder... it will help protect your drives from future infection.
