Re: strange autorun.inf file in every drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I ran an online housecall check from trend andit found lots of malware,
trojan etc, cleaned them out and now no virus found with any test. BUT I
still can't access the update sites for AVG updates, the adaware update, or
MS updates. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling AVG and it wouldnt
let me install the version 8 AVG, installed V7.5 but after a restart it
wouldnt run again. It looks like a virus I have seen before called parite,
but there is no indication of it from the AV programs. I also have eTrust
from CA which came installed on the comp and it updates from a ftp site
daily with no problem. I have checked the host file to see if the update
sites are blocked there but they arent. Any suggestions as to where to look
next as I am now heading toward full system recovery, involving reformat.
need to buy a new external HD to take all my docs :(

I found a autorun.inf file in each of my hard drives, even an external
one. It comtains this

[autorun]

shell=Open

with the drive letter changed for each drive.

This looks fishy to me, anybody recognise it?
TIA

You might be better off running the freeware versions of MBAM and SAS.
