Virus Found: Cant delete it.

I use Avast Antivirus with lastest updates. A virus with this name has been found -"INF:Autorun-F [Trj]" in c: and subsequently infected all the drives.

i have tried all the knows methods to remove it, but without any result.
1) Scanned drives, av deleted it. But again the virus came back.
2)Scheduled boot time scan, av deleted it. But again the virus came back.
3)Opened command prompt, deleted it from there. But again the virus came back.
4)Rebooted in Safe Mode but couldnt find the virus and it was found there also by the av.
5) Rebooted in Safe Mode with CMD but didnt get it as i have already deleted it. But it was present, as the av detected it.

The main problem is "Show hidden files" option is not getting activated, so that i can delete it.

Now plz tell me what to do with it? Thanks

schedule a bootscan for avast this is a small autorun worm, then you will identify yourselves all those malicious things, so you can delete them by handy simply by means of keys 1 to 9

Disable system Restore. Use Disk Cleaner to clear old Restore Points. Run CCleaner. Then try all above again.

I think u missed that point no 3 in my post!

Thanks Anand will try as u suggested.

Try using the trial version Trojan Hunter for removing it.

download kav 6 trial version update it and do scan, it will fix it.

^^ KAV 6 days have gone. Download Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.

www.kaspersky.com

Thanks guys for replies. I use a dial-up connection so need to think twice before downloading.

@Anandk the process mentioned by u did not work.
I scheduled a boottime scan again and nothing was found there. But in desktop it started detecting again. This is really a strange problem.
Plz suggest me what to do next

yea sure but kav 6 is much faster and lighter than version 7

@Anindya
try kav 6 yaar

I use KAV 6 and it detects the same Autorun.inf virus whenever i plug in my frnds pendrive., he does not have a net connection and thats a different story. "KAV6" will defeniately remove it 100%. Why KAV6?... Because its size is only 19.5mb, its very light and does not consume much of your system resources.

I can give you the same version which i'm using with key if you want.
its ver 6.0.1.411

use dis
*en.sergiwa.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=2&lid=1
only 70kb.

i hope dis will help it removes all restrictions tht virus removes

like taskmanager, regedit, n ofcourse folderoptions.

Get your hjt log checked at www.hijackthis.de
WinPatrol www.winpatrol.com is one utility which can help you search out and delete hidden files/startups.

Well I think its not the autorun.inf which is the main culprit...the file is being executed by an .exe file from inside the system32..do 1 thing,as I think it 2 be an avpo.exe..go into the cmd,then trace into sys32,type dir /a avpo*.*..if U find any file related 2 it then change its attribute & delete...the get into ur drive(in cmd)& del that autorun stuff..let me know if it works or not

Download HijackThis version 1.9.1 (you should get it in Filehippo. Then let it scan your PC and save a log file. Post that log in forums dedicated to analyze HJT logs, like Techsupportforum.com, Safernetworkingforum or Majorgeeks. Deleting anything using HJT is not really the best of the ideas andthe online HJT log checker is also not conclusive.

if u know the location where the virus while is kept,boot from a linux livecd and remove it!

Thanks for all ur help. The problem is solved. I got KAV from Arun and it could detect it after update.
