My friend's PC has some strange prob & I have searched the forum but didn't found the solution.
Whenever he double clicks any drive, nothing happens, no drive opens. I have checked his PC & I have found that there is an autorun.ini file which contains the autorun info as setup.exe. this setup.exe is no where on any drive. I tried to delete the autorun.ini file but it gets created again & again. also whenever I try to change folder options to show hidden files, it automatically changes to "do not show hidden...".
what can be the solution??

sorry buddy, u got it wrong. :(
I wasnt making fun of u but I was smiling at the cyber cafe owner's luck. :D
All cyber cafes are usually infected with such viruses. ;)

I apologize again, if it hurt u. :)

The thing can be done, is download HijackThis and post the logfile here, then we can fix the suspicious item. :)
