Question
Dear Lenny,
I  appreciate for all of your last responses and your
kindness in guiding me .
If possible help me again. I and my friends have the
following problems:

After press the F3 key to search on windows xp, The search
windows don’t show the search options, I think there is a
Virus in Computer that threats it. I scanned the system
with NOD32 Antivirus. After connecting the flash memories  
to my Computer USB port, I encounter with an alert windows
that warns “INF-Autorun Virus” , this message is shown when
I install the AVG Antivirus because I can Download its
updated files. I Installed Nod32 Anti viruses after that. I
have Nod32 Antivirus now on my system. If there is any good
recommend to delete all of my system Viruses .
Please introduce me the good Free Antivirus that I can
Download them and can get their update files separately.
Unfortunately some of  Ant viruses became update  when we
connect to Internet online.
Warm Wishes,
Ali


Answer
Hello Ali,

Firstly, you are going to require on-line updates for total security. Fresh infections keep coming up each day and so do updates get uploaded to clientèle for protection.

Secondly, "Inf_AutoRun" is a dodgy infection. It should come in its official/rightful name "AutoRun_Inf" and is identified by various antivirus programs but in fact it is a false positive alarm.

Click below to download DOWNLOAD AUTORUN EATER v2.3 to scan and detect whether there is an underlying infection within the hard-drive;
