This may be a false positive - very unusual for ComboFix.
In at least some cases HP uses autorun.inf to call the warning screen letting you know you should not modify any files on the recovery partition.
Open autorun.inf.vir in notepad (this should be safe) and post its contents.
Hi again. it wont let me open it, it asks to look on net to find the program that wrote it, it’s about 1kb in size
Is there an option below that to choose from a list of programs? If there is, check that and choose notepad.
this is all it came up with:-
[autorun]
OPEN=setupSNK.exe
ICON=\SMRTNTKY\fcw.ico
ACTION=Wireless Network Setup Wizard
There’s a situation outlined here

where a hard drive can appear as a USB drive when setting up wireless networking. I believe this is what happened on your computer.
I think ComboFix detected the file because one of the files it calls (setupSNK.exe) is also a name used by some malware. This, with the fact that it’s unusual to have autorun.inf on a hard drive, makes it look suspicious.
You could probably just delete it as its serving no purpose.
Phew!! thanks for that, as long as my wireless on laptop still works thats fine by me ;D
Thanks for letting me finish what we started
