Autorun Virus Remover
There are numerous of autorun virus types that use the autorun.inf in order to spread themselves for example the Bacalid (hides itself inside ctfmon.exe) as well as RavMon.EXE. These types of viruses set their data file attributes to System + Hidden + Read-Only and several anti-viruses could have difficulties diagnosing or even identifying them.
An autorun.inf file is a text file that can be used by the AutoRun and AutoPlay components of Microsoft Windows Operating systems. For the file to be discovered and used by these components, it must be located in the root directory of a volume. As Windows has a case-insensitive view of filenames, the autorun.inf file can be stored as AutoRun.inf or Autorun.INF or any other case combination.
