    I have Avira installed, and several antispyware tools, and none of them was able to eliminate this crap (how is this posible?). But now, with the .bat file method it has gone. Thanks a lot.

    Now a days almost all Antivirus Removes this Autorun.inf Virus.

    Try to use the BEST antivirus and Spyware.

    Antivirus – Kaspersky(My Fav) or Bitdefender
    Spyware – Spyware Doctor or Sypware Terminator

    If u want to remove this problem
    just unhide the system files and folder then
    open autorun.inf in c:\
    than go to properties of autorun.inf and uncheck read-only box.
    than open the file and delete all the text and
