These days i was really troubled by a virus named wincfgs.exe.
This virus was spread by USB flash disk . As soon as it pluged in your
computer ,you will be infected by it .
And avast could do nothing about it .
the main feature of the infected computer was it will open a notepad when
the system start .and in the prosess you can see the wincfgs.exe in it .
Everyday a lot of flash disk would plug in my computer ,and is there any solutions
that i could take to prevent winfgs.exe run in my computer?

If you are not getting a virus warning that you believe is a new, undetected virus then if you can zip and password protect (‘virus’, will do) the suspect file and send it to virus @ avast.com (no spaces), or send from the chest.
Give a brief outline of the problem (possibly a link to this thread), the fact that you believe it to be a either a new, undetected virus and include the password in the body of the email. Some info on the avast version and VPS number (see about avast {right click avast icon}) will also help.
You could also check the offending/suspect file at: Jotti - Multi engine on-line virus scanner if any other scanners here detect them it is less likely to be a false positive. You can’t do this with the file in the chest, you will need to move it out.
Or VirusTotal - Multi engine on-line virus scanner
