Autorun.inf and RECYCLER are USB based viruses. Help me get rid of it please.

After bashing the file on my USB repeatedly and having a war with after it keeps respawning, I finally managed to kill it, eternally. However, as the webpage I read said it would, it infected my computer so I cant run my USB if the autorun.inf isnt there. HEEELLPPPP ME PLEASH!

Autorun.inf isn't a virus in its self, I have one on my usb with gives it a little icon, it's just what the code in it does.but Recycler... never heard of it.

What exactly is the problem?

Why don't you have an anti-virus installed on it anyway?

Might be time to format the usb - then:

Get V3 Lite (use another pc and copy the installer to the USB)
Install on the PC.
Run full scan.

You see... I looked up on the webpage and what is said was exactly right. I cant go on microsoft, yahoo or any antivirus sites.

So, basically, it just wont let me access my usb, until I used run to locate the recycler folder in my USB, deleted anything inside, then pressed 'up a folder button' and I could access my usb that time. But when I tried from my computer, it wouldnt work!

So you can't visit somewhere like this: http://free.avg.com/gb-en/homepage ?

Autorun.inf is not a virus itself. It just auto-runs the content on the disc/usb device/something automatically. Tons of programs use Autorun.inf, even legitimate ones.

I can access my USB fine now, but Im not putting it in my PC today.

I know the source of it now! Our school (they dont know yet!) my friend put it on their comment thingy on msn that there's was infected aswell. they brought their usb in to school aswell today.

TOO SOON!

DARN. ITS GOT AN AUTORUN.INF IN THERE!

Get Malwarebytes' Anti-malware. It can pick up a lot of stuff. Yes, there is a premium version (for real-time protection and stuff), but the free one includes the main points such as scanning. It will pick up everything and try to remove them, free or premium.

I use the premium one because I actually bought it. 

it wont let me access it. can you provide me with a mediafire link or something?

Are you able to get the computer in Safe Mode (both with and without networking)?

done, but... IT STILL DIDNT WORK!

Even though I use a mac, hit Control+alt+delete, find the process, and stop it. Your antivirus should pick it up.

nothing abnormal there...

I downloaded a BUNCH more antiviruses.

Can someone please put fileassasin on dropbox so I can download it? Remember, I cant go on antivirus sites.
