ERROR

[vasulic]

Hi guys

I have win xp pro sp3

The Problem is when I double click on any disk drive I get access denied.
But If I right click and explore or open , works fine.

and also when i try to OPEN an email attached PDF file it gives the following error message "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action , Create an association in the folder options control panel."

Help Me in rectifying these problems

1. You are infected by autorun.inf viruses which is executed as soon as you double-click. To rectify the problem you'll have to delete the autorun.inf file from the root of the partitions. You can manually delete it by opening the drive or by using any anti malware software.

2. Download the following *windowsxp.mvps.org/utils/PPSFix_2_1.zip and fix the file type.
