How to get rid of Folder icon on your Disk drives.
This is caused by a file that ends up on a PC (possibly some sort of virus), that doesn’t get picked up by the anti-virus software or Super AntiSpyware or MalwareBytes. The file is called autorun.inf and it appears to be more of a nuisance than anything else.However, This Malware can only be removed via the command prompt window through the steps listed below
- Click on the Start Menu and Type CMD, from there you will get your CMD match. Right-click on the CMD and Run it as an administrator.
- Type cd\ to get back to the root of the current drive.
- Type attrib -r -h -s autorun.inf — if the file doesn’t exist on that drive, you will get a message saying so and can skip to Step 5. If the file does exist, you will be returned to the drive’s prompt.
- Type del autorun.inf to delete the file.
- If you have other drives, check each one. Change the directory to the drive you want to check (e.g. cd d: to check your D: drive).
- Repeat Steps 3, 4, and 5 until you have checked and cleaned all drives.
- Reboot your computer.
