Trouble:
Most of the virus infections are caused due to virus spreading through pen drives, memory cards and other USB drives. Many of these viruses use autorun.inf viruses which cause the infection because of a small autorun.inf files which triggers the virus files on your pen drive.
When you double click on your USB pen drive icon to open the drive in windows explorer these autorun.inf files run the viruses files and copy them to your computer to cause virus infection.
In this post we will talk about a tool called “USB Autorun Blocker” to protect your computer from pen drive viruses.
Lets find out how does this tool protect your computer from autorun.inf viruses.
Fix:
USB Autorun Blocker is a very light program, low on eating system resources. It gets loaded automatically into system memory.
How does USB protects from viruses in USB pen drive?
When ever you connect a new drive to your computer which contains autorun.inf viruses, it automatically renames autorun.inf files on the device and changes the attribute of autorun.inf file to be normal and visible to the user.
As a result you can delete the autorun.inf files on the drive and also delete all other virus files on the USB drive, whose names are their in the autorun.inf files code.

hai rohit
i need your help..could you tell me how could i remove a pop up every time i start the computer saying that the scrip.exe path is missing or couldnt be found..
1) have i deleted something that i shouldnt have or
2) its a virus
hi,
i know an old school trick. Autorun on any drives, or dissk, are triggered when the autorun option is checked, i forget where, but there is a registry setting which can be changed and no autorun will happen for any new disks added. now if that doesnt work, you only need to remember to press the shift key while inserting the disk.
on CDs for example, if you insert a disk which has autorun file and press shift while inserting the disk till the time the disk has been read, the autorun will not trigger. i use this approach when i use my USB at internet cafes.
@dolyn
remove the autorun file and this error will be fixed.
hi,thanks for your solution but when i attempt to reformat my usb there is still the write protect error
Exellent. I was looking for a software like this.
Hey rohit nice articale

so what i have to do?
How can i fix this problem
I personally use USB Threat Defender. They claim that it has a unique technology(Proactive + Definiton scan) which not only prevents USB viruses from spreading but also detects and removes exisitng viruses from systems which not even the best Anti-Viruses can detect. It also fixes damages done to system.
Disabling AutoRun or using a AutorunVirus remover wont help

[...] It could happen that you suddenly see some useless files created on your USB portable devices like pen drives, iPod and Memory Card etc. These files may be sometimes created by some virus infection which might have come after you had used your USB drive on any other computer which is already infected with some virus.
