update the virus definition of your antivirus…
Once the Virus is removed just add a blank autorun.exe via text editor and your USB drive will be a little more protected against these virus’s.
Hi there. If the file name is autorun.exe, it is probably a virus program that boots up at startup. You can check what files are executed at startup by opening up msconfig.exe, and clicking on the startup tab. Make sure autorun.exe is not checked. I’d highly recommend updating your antivirus software if you haven’t, and if you can’t remove it, try another (spyware doctor and malwarebytes are great)
