you also remove the folder by reformatting.
remember only to back up all the files you need on the drive where the folder is found.
it work 🙂 thanks a lot
thank u verry much, it’s quit effective way
It doesn’t worked for me. The folder still appear there.
i need help..my prob is different..
i don’t want to remove..i try to protect my own autorun.inf
flash disinfector protect autorun.inf but before it protect, it reset the autorun.inf..
i create my own autorun.inf, n i would like to protect the modified autorun.inf
any idea?
mk, no 100% protection. You can change autorun.inf file attributes to Read Only + Archive.
patrik,of course there’s no 100% protection..
but 80% or 10% will be good..
i’m tired of changing back my autorun.inf due to virus…
changing the attrib to read only + archive will not protect even 0.01%. coz i always try this this method and all of the virus can easily change my autorun.inf..
but when i using flash disinfector no virus can change it until now. but as i said, it can’t protect my personal autorun.inf..it reset the autorun.inf before it protect..
for ur info, i study at an institution n every time i plug my pendrive to comp at lab,it will get infected with so many virus..the student have a bad hobby to create simple virus that pass through pendrive n will give effect which quite disturbing..but flash disinfector way really useful so far..
Hi
Thanks a load who ever wrote this code i had a tough time deleting that folder!
eureka u r codeing worked!
thanx a lot
