Hi Shivram,
I have a gentle clarification on this autorun.inf ? do you meant to say autorun.inf is always a virus? i think its No. If your pendrive is infected through the a virus, that virus may infect autorun.inf and since autorun.inf is entry point to expore the pendrive. Hence most of us might encountered autorun.inf is a virus. But autorun.inf script is defaultly loaded in most pendrive,if you connect to Pc for 1st time. Autorun.inf is not a problem, but autorun if infected with virus would obviously create a big problem. Eg: Some time make control panel-disabled, show hidden files and folder option kept disabled always even if you select other option, blocking the Open and explore options of new partition and continues restart if you try to end some virus task from task manager are likely symptoms of Virus is living in Pc/Laptop Thanks, Mallikarjun A B On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 8:37 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Friends many of your PC/laptop's normally gets virus because of Pen Drives > or USB devices (Even PC's who are not connected to network ).
