Hi
I have a autorun.inf file on a memory stick. Avast cannot delete or move it. I have tried the attrib command but it is also unable to get access to the file. Unblocker was also tried but with no success. How can I get rid of it

I think the file is a safe one maybe created with panda usb tool"USB Vaccine",because its file couldnt be deleted
BUT if you like to delete it you can copy the files on your usb to a local folder then format the flash driver.
MGAULTOTALLOL! @OP: Just use FileAssasin from Malwarebytes, see this.
You are so smart to think that"By the way it doesnt work"
And what you do,you just caught a bug
wtf? Let’s see whether it helps the original poster, anyway. Also, another way is deleting from a liveCD/DVD
maybe you should learn to use it before complaining that “it doesn’t work”?
Oh come and learn me how to use it,please.
Are you kidding?!
Coz you are not funny

@ eddo,
Panda USB Vaccine for USB devices:
http://research.pandasecurity.com/panda-usb-and-autorun-vaccine/ and it can be run on any drive on your machine for removable devices.
You are given the option to “vaccinate” your machine, which means to disable autoruns from infecting your machine again, and you can enable it again (although I wouldn’t). Plus you can “vaccinate” any USB/flash or removable device so that it cannot infect your machine. This type of malware is easily transmittable because many people use USB’s.
If you look at my Signature, I use it and it does not conflict with Avast. It is simple to use as well.
How to format or cleanse your USB / flash drive:
- Right click from Windows Explorer and do a full format to cleanse your USB flash drive.
Let us know if this fixes your problem. Thank you.
