How To Remove "autorun.inf"

Well unfortunately the systems in my university lab are full of viruses. Whenever i plugged my usb/flash drives at my univ, it gets affected by viruses.I have tried many anti-viruses, most of them were able to delete/disinfect viruses but were not able to delete the key to viruses, the “Autorun.inf“ file.You may have noticed this file in your flash drives or hard disk.

Almost all of the viruses which reside in flash drives use “Autorun.inf” to execute the EXE file.Whenever u try to delete this file, it gives an error saying this file cant be deleted coz its in use...Now the question is how to remove the autorun.inf file along with the viruses.

A) Remove these files manually using DOS Command Prompt:-
Go to Start->Run>Type “cmd“ [Without Quotes]
Then use the following commands
X: Where X is your flashdrive
attrib -s -h -r autorun.inf Changing the attributes of the file
del autorun.inf Deleting the fileNOTE:1. Here, -s -h ,-r means we are removing the attributes system file, hidden, read only resp.(if any) so that it can be deleted.2. Hold 'shift' while inserting the flash drive for 10-15 sec to disable autorun temporarily.

B)Using Smart-Antivirus :

I found a small piece of software which basically runs the same commands at the back end but performs it with more accuracy and more easiness, just with one click of your mouse. Its called “Smart-Anti-Virus“. Well tell you the truth its not an anti-virus basically but its a small handy program made in visual basic to automate all the DOS Commands i explained to you earlier.

It can perform the following actions ,in case viruses have affected these functions

Enable Run
Enable registry Editor
Enable Command Prompt
Enable Folder Options
Disable Autoplay on all drives
Restore all folder option settings

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE FROM HERE

CELLPHONE LOSING CHARGE

If your cellphone loses its battery charge too quickly while idle in your pocket,part of the problem may be that pocket is too warm. "Cellphone battries last a bit longer if kept cool, " says Isidor Buchanan,editor of Battery University Website. A person's body heat,transmitted through a cloth pocket to a cellphone ,is enough to speed up chemical processes inside the phone's battery .To keep the phone cooler, carry it in your purse or on your belt.If you are travelling without phone charger,turn off the phone & put it in the hotel refrigirator overnight to slow the battery's tendency to lose its charge

TOO MUCH FLASH

If your cellphone's built in camera flash is too much bright & washing out photos,tape a small piece of paper over the flash.Experiment with different colours and thickness of paper to tone down the flash from superbright white to a more pleasing glow for evening photos.

TECH TONIC 1

Behind the cash register in a shop at San Francisco,Sam Azar swipes a customer's credit card. The store's card reader fails to scan the card's magnetic strip. Azar swipes again. No luck. He then reaches beneath the counter for a plastic bag. He wraps one layer of the plastic around the card & swipes it again. Success. The sale is rung up .

"I dont know how it works, it just does, " says Azar, who learned this trick from another clerk.

This is just one of the low-tech fixes for high-tech failure.

DIRTY DISC

You need to clean a akipping DVD or CD, but as a bachelor you dont hav any sissy cleaning fluids ? Soak a wash cloth with VODKA or MOUTHWASH.

Alcohol is a powerful solvent, perfectly capable of dissolving fingerprints & grime on the surface of the DISC. A bottle of listerine in your medicine cabinet may do the job as effectively as a pricey bottle of DVD cleaning fluids. Also, swabbing a DVD copy with a VODKA instead of fussing with a Discwasher kit is more manly :D ..........

CRASHED HARD DRIVE

When your PC's hard drive crashes & cant be read, stick it in the freezer fore overnight.

"This trick is the last resort, recovery technique"writes Fred Langa on the windows security website.Many hard drive failures are caused by worn parts, making it impossible to read data from the drive. Lowering the drive's temperature causes its metal & plastic to contract slightly & expand again when it returns to room temperature. That may recover afailing component long enough for you to recover the essential data......
