We are getting lots of computer problems from readers in which users report the following issues:
1. Cannot open hard disk drives by double click.
2. Double clicking on any drive opens search.
3. Error message being displayed while trying to open drives.
4. Double clicking on any drive opens “Open With” dialog window.
5. Drive opens in new window on double click.
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).
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.

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

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.
maybe formating will fix the problem 🙂
Thanks so much mate…it really does work.. it remove the problem i had with my d:… thanks so much and more power

this is my story…..once wen i connected my usb to pc there was this autorun.inf which got in from some other pc…..so my comp mechanic said tht now my pc is infected and cant format tht usb until the whole pc is formatted….and i formatted the whole pc and now everything’s back to normal….but the prob is dat b4 formatting i took backup from my c&d drives in 2 dvd’s….and my question is dat now can i restore these back.???….will there be autorun.inf in these dvd’s????? pls help
Just use Linux which shows all contents no matter hidden, system etc. Windows is stupid os that’s perfect for virus writers only.
Great resource.. i have been searching for solution like this….
Thanks
