My USB has Autorun Virus! What should I do?

I have heard a number of people said “ My USB is infected with an autorun virus” or something similar to that.

First of all autorun or autorun.inf is not a virus or a malware (malicious software) at all. It is a valid component of the Windows operating system which was introduced in Windows 95 (probably some of you kids have not even seen a Windows 95 before)

Getting a virus from USB / Flashdisk

Probably you're one those who's computer got infected by a virus from your USB or flashdisk.

Before anything else… technically these so called viruses that get transferred through usb or flashdisks are worms or other form of malicious softwares (malwares) and not technically viruses (although when I talk about this to other people I refer to them as virus too … for easy reference and I don’t have to explain myself what the heck is a worm)
