Please don’t post multiple topics for the same question, it just caused duplication for those helping.
I have answered you first topic posted two minutes earlier, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=28492.0.
another option to disable AUTORUN>>>
There are 4 easy steps to making sure that Autoplay (Autorun) is disabled on all your drives including the USB. That would remove the ability of people to insert a USB drive and automatically run a .exe on your computer by using a *.inf file.
The last thing that you can do to protect yourself is to make sure that you have “Hide extensions for known file types”. This will help you from accidentally clicking on a file that is on a USB drive that looks like it is safe to look at, but is not really.

ie;… Win32:Sohanad-E-Unk [Wrm]
apart from dropping a “autorun.inf” in flash drives…it also creates “new folder.exe”/'boot.exe"…it looks like a folder…BUT it has .exe extension…if u click on it by mistake…u’ll get infected…even if autorun has been disabled
