Hello,

I have inserted my USB drive into my PC running with windows XP. While I am trying to open USB drive (E:), I am getting the pop up window stated that "E:/ is not a valid win32 application".

I have tried with autoplay, explore and open options. I could not able to open it in the windows explorer.

Finally I accessed via search options. I able to access the files in the USB drive via search option in the right click menu.

Please help me to solve this issue.
(Note: If I plug the same usb drive into another PC, I am able to open it).

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.3

Hi jai good afternoon and happy new year.
It is very easy yaar just go to run-type cmd
and run the below command in all driver that u can not open and getting such error. try it it will work 100%
c:\>attrib -r -s -a -h autorun.inf
c:\>del autorun.inf
and also delete the rescylced folder and boot.com file.
and reboot the system.
and also check ur virus defintion and run a full system scan becoz other it will again create this type of files.

Try this as well, First download AVG Free Virsion 8.0 then,update AVG, now scan you computer, after scanning go to results and delete, you should be able to access all drives, however, the virus is still present, even if you used Flash Disinfector the Virus is only removed Temporaily.
Try this to Verify what I'm saying, )go to safe mode) How to get in safe mode! First turn off your computer then began tapping F8 a dos window will appear, now go to (SAFE MODE) not SAFE MODE NETWORKING now try to click on that drive, oops. Now Scan you computer in safe mode using AVG 8.0 if you have multiple drives and want to scan individually use the second option and second box Type the drive letter, example T:\;Z:\ This scan some of windows files then only the selected drives.
Once scan is complete restart an go to AVG Resutls and delete. Once again to veriy that the virus is gone go back to safe mode and click on that drive you should be able to access drive if not go throuth the process again it will totally remove this virus. AVG IS TOTALLY FREE AND WILL REMOVE THIS VIRUS
Good luck....

If you go to Explore window instead of opening it directly, it will work.
