Hi supersiao,

  1. Delete the Autorun.inf file of your C: drive, for it :
    Open the command prompt, and type :
    cd
    attrib -s -h -r autorun.inf
    del autorun.inf

Now download DrWeb’s CureIt from here: ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/cureit.exe
and do a full scan,

btw thx for ur help.

and i also like to ask in wat type of situation will i be affect from ACTIVE Backdoor (or Keylogger/Password-Stealer etc), and how am i going to defend from it?

The autorun.inf file is a text file, but has special significance it is normally only seen in removable media/CD/DVDs, etc.

When you load that CD/DVD (if the windows autoplay, is enabled, it is by default) windows sees the autorun.inf file and runs it. The autorun.inf shouldn’t be on fixed hard drive partitions so removal from those locations should have zero impact.

Inside the autorun.inf there are a number of commands which execute other files. This is normally used to play the media, etc. but there are those who use this function to launch malicious content.

See this topic/post about autorun infections, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=34095.msg285331#msg285331.

Hi supersiao,

Go and read this here:

The slash is this / above it on the keyboard is ?
The backslash is \ above it is |
If you do not have it you can use cut and paste, go to start - then to execute, and click and paste, then give in:

cd \
attrib -s -h -r autorun.inf
del autorun.inf

and then give enter,
