Delete Autorun.inf Virus Manually using just Winrar

Once it happened to a friend of mine, when his 

newly bought laptop was infected with this 

autorun.inf virus. This virus corrupted almost all 

the  drives on the Hard disk, and when ever he 

tried to double click on the drive or opening  any 

drive it opened in a new window. In some cases, 

when your driveis infected with this Autorun.inf 

virus, you won’t be able to access the drive 

completely. You have to browse the drive by 

Exploring it i.e; Ctrl+E keys from the keyboard.

Sometimes ever you will not be able to see hidden

 files even if you have Show hidden files Enabled 

under Folder Options. well, this are all the wonders 

of this Autorun.inf virus.

I am going to show you this rare method of 

removing Autorun.inf manually using just winrar 

application, not any antivirus or malware programs.
