How does or did an Autorun.inf file get on my flash drive? I did not load it to the flash drive. Norton said it was a virus and deleted it. The next time I plugged in the flash drive it was back.
I deleted the autorun.inf and again the next time I plug in the flash drive it has the autorun.inf file back on it.
Does anyone know how this is possible? I thought if I deleted the file it would be gone for good.

Any ideas??

This question was after removal of the virus..
The worm/virus was removed. I must assume that the reason the autorun.inf file would repopulate my flash drive was due to the virus still being in the system. More than likely it was the DLL that was removed that must of been programmed to reloaded the file and it's contents upon plug-n-play...

Thanks for reply. I've got another question and will post in the Malware form.
