Well i wasn't sure whether this belongs to the Newbie Section or the Windows Section. But i decided since i am too nub to know. I will just dispatch it here.
Here is the problem i am trying to solve...
I want to make a little patch for a friend of mine so he can manually remove Autorun.inf Virus from his PC Drives, since he gets infected a lot. the other problem is that he doesn't regularly infect the same driver. So i wanted to make a patch for that... Just don't know where i went wrong.
@ECHO OFF
ECHO Type your Drive name here:
Pause
1% dir
del/ah/f autorun.inf
copy con autorun.inf
ECHO Press Enter Please
pause
[autorun]
open=explorer.exep
[f6][enter]
Echo Patch done, If you want it to run again just open the File once more...

you are better off getting him a nice free AV program, one that will protect against other viruses, trojans, and malware even (comodo.com). The autoupdate feature of AVP will protect your friend from future mutations of the autorun virus, as well as all the others.

The thing with antiviruses is that he is already using Kaspersky 2009 but it doesn't detect autorun as he says. Though as he tells me updates the program every day (since he is online all the time on a ADSL connection).
I will sure tell him about that disable method.
One thing. Why is it when i run that batch i posted it doesn't do anything.. it rather gives me an error that nothing is happening... Since the dir command didn't find any drive to "dir" though i gave him the name of my drive (say C: or D:).
