We are going to discuss why these problems occur,how can you fix them using a simple FREE virus removal tool.

 

These issues mentioned above normally occur due to virus infections in computer. These are most commonly spread by pen drives or portable USB devices.

 

When a user double clicks on the portable drive which is already infected by a virus, the virus spread itself on your system and also create a ‘autorun.inf’ in all your drives.

 

So, the whole problem persist due to ‘autorun.inf’ files created by virus in the root directory of drives.

 

Let see how can you fix them all in one go.

In order to fix these problems, you can also try FREE virus removal tool which is released recently, called Autorun Eater.

 

What is Autorun Eater?

It is a tool to scan and remove suspicious ‘autorun.inf’ files found in the root directory of all drives, A-Z, in real-time. Autorun Eater will remove any suspicious ‘autorun.inf’ files even before the user attempts to open the drive.

 

Note: It will remove all the suspicious ‘autorun.inf‘ files from the virus infected pen drives but will not remove any other virus files so you would have to remove them manually or with some anti-virus tools.

 

It also fixes the three common problems caused by the viruses (as shown in the image below).

  1. Task Manager disabled.
  2. Registry editing disabled.
  3. Hidden Folder Options.

Autorun-Eater

If you have removed all the suspicious ‘autorun.inf’ files from all your drives, you will be able to open all your drives easily including your pen drive with double click.

 

We have already tested the application on some USB drives, it removes the autorun.inf files and contains no malware, adware etc.

    Thanks for the nice utility… Regarding task manager, hidden files and other such issues, I recommend Sergiwa’s RRT.

    And I prefer to take a look on my link I have provided which provides details on removing such malwares/ viruses.

    I used to manually delete autorun.inf, thanks for this utility…

    To remove / delete the autorun.inf file from your drive
    Open the task manager
    Select the explorer.exe process & select End Process
    This will result in disappearing the desktop items.
    But do not worry.
    You will have a windows task manager window open
    GO TO File
    Select “New Task [Run]”
    Type” CMD”
    Command window will open type the command
    Del d:\autorun.inf [select the drive letter properly]
    Close the cmd
    GO TO File
    Select “New Task [Run]”
    Type” Explorer”
    Your desktop items will re-appear.

    The easiest way of removing the Autorun virus, on a pc or from a flash,
    Download a unlocker program, example Tizer unlocker.

    On windows show all hiden files, in you folder options.

    Search for the autorun file, it will look grayed out, then right click on the autorun file, and move you mouse to Tizer, there are three options, choose the delete option

    Thats it, it shoud be gone.

    How to remove recycler virus from my PC.

    Sometime back I had installed Net Protector which I found to be not good. Hence, I had UNINSTALLED it.
    Late I found that even after uninstalling, it is present in the root kit and had installed a recycler virus.
    For Last 1 month I have tried to remove it by using AVAST, AVIRA. McFEE, SOPHOS, MALWAREBYTES antimalware, KASPESKY , FILEZILLA , CCLEANER and HITMAN PRO

    Still , none of the programme has detected it. If I try to start the computer in safe mode, it shows some weird partition files and hangs.
    Doe anyone have a sure shot solution.

    Just use Linux which shows all contents no matter hidden, system etc. Windows is stupid os that’s perfect for virus writers only.
