Hello,

Try this 1.

Follow all the steps as given below

Step 1:

1) Click on the below link and download the file "AutorunExterminator"

https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/5911-autorun-exterminator/

[Note : Make sure Dot Net Framework is installed in your PC to install the

"AutorunExterminator" OR

Click on the below link and download the Dot Net Framework

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25150

Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator" --> Plug your external drive

now. This will remove the autorun.inf files from the external drive and also from

drives.

Step 2:

Click on Start --> In search bar, type cmd. When the command prompt option

appears in the search list, right-click on it and select the option "Run as

administrator". Command Prompt will be opened.

Here I assume your External hard drive as G:

Enter this command.

attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*

You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and

paste it.

Note : Replace the letter g with your External hard drive letter.

Now check for your files in External Drive.

Step 3:

After that, download the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from the below link

https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/4621-malwarebytes-anti-malware/

Update it --> Perform "Full Scan"

Note : Default selected option is "Quick Scan".

Good Luck.
