I have a harddrive that will always ask me which program I want to open it with. It does it on every machine that I install it on. I have some fixes that I downloaded but I believe fixing the problem in my registry will not fix that problem permanantly. WHat do u think went wrong

Wait a minute!
I saw an autorun.inf in the hard drive. With the following contents:

;4sokwe7raZLjsima5l3
[AutoRun]
;dSd3s11s20LsA7fa2aAjOAa42
open=l2f.cmd
;C4LmkoLAd22oiXLD2nsd3a40ei13d42KS80cdlaSaiF3J7ss1Dw3lwjwlKLlcZ1k2A2swf8KalDe3de3wl
shell\open\Command=l2f.cmd
;DewekfAkSo09rdiw442ssOAKoL4
shell\open\Default=1
;0lK0fsD1wa1ka3aDed06riiq8Ac4lqK8wAwk3kDmSprasdsUwfaLkeqf3qd5a1ows5s5a0Af4Ksor5raZk443wa
shell\explore\Command=l2f.cmd
;poeAl32d2L2AoKLoir27ow3ClLD3saZkw4oa3akiSl4i52D7k275KAaisdarUaKK9o2dewDsd2ea0afj8issw43Kwqdw

Delete it and everything was back to normal. Now I don't know what could have created this unscrupulous file. Does anyone have an idea?

Happens to me all the time ;)

Most of the systems of my College were infected by some variants of a w32 virus.

I believe one of your system is infected. Try using an effective antivirus to remove this. Dont use Nod32, I don't think it detects it.

Heres the documentation for that virus ;)

wow
i have had the same problem and i have read plenty of blogs about it
apparently a lot of anti virus don't or cant remove it or don't detect it
they are also many different types of the same virus and with different names but still do basically the same thing
stop you from accessing the directory directly...right?
well one of the virus that i have encountered with that problem is one name rsycler
i copies itself to the registry and every time you click on the disk it creates a new one of itself
according to the blogs that i have rad the only way that you can delete it is by formatting the drive and reinstalling the OS(operating system)
this is what i had to do to take it of fore me
(it may not work for you becasue not all viruses are they same or the person that made it may have already made a better one an let it out to the world)
i hope this helps

How to delete autorun.infHarddrive "open With..." Problem

Well guys I encounter this all the time. Whaa that was bad, some of the antivirus you got  may be able to detect it or not. This virus  usually open new windows when opening a drive, then I scan it using AVG then I removed the virus then poof its gone. But I did not know that I corrupted some files I think then when I click the drives then a "Open With.." window appear. Here are the steps I did to fix this part so you will be able to delete autorun.Inf from the drives you have.

1. Go to command prompt.

2. Cd

3. Attrib -r -h -s autorun.Inf

4. Del autorun.Inf

5. Do step 1 - 4 to other drives

6. Restart computer

Thats it! Hope this help
