Norton is really changed since 2009 version and it's faster than before.

that may be true, but i don`t have any personal interest in norton, i prefer avast and nod32 to norton. I don`t know abt the other members. Every body has got their own taste.

Right off the assembly line
An autorun.inf file stores information of an external disk. When ever an external disk is inserted, the computer first checks the autorun.inf file and executes the command written in it. First backup all the stuff in the pendrive and then format it. Then get a usb Panda Antivirus and then netralise the pendrive . It just creates an "autorun.inf" which block any software from overwritting it into the pen drive and no softwares are allowed to enter your pendrive.

Create folders by the names of autorun.inf and setup.exe, and write protect them. This is a quick fix to ensure that at least they don't show up again no matter which antivirus you use. Do this on all your USB drives and hard disks.
Then run a boot time scan. You might lost a lot of data though.

actually there isless posibility of recovering your pc after the virus infection. The solution which myself and other members have provided will work to prevent further virus infection. You can do one thing boot from a live CD and delete the autorun.inf files in all the partition and also detele any other suspicios file. Also check you windows\, system32\. If all these doesn`t work then there is no way other then a clean XP reinstall. Also make sure that you keep your pc uptodate with latest virus updates.

Tech'ing life seriously!!
well you are not able to delete the autorun virus from your removable drive because its installed on your system. search through the system for the sourch virus and delete it. then finally format or delete manually the autorun vir from your removable drive. it should go.
