    i have a file amvo1.dll found on my pc which has been detected by kaspersky
    as virus. it had also detected autorun.inf in the root directory of all my
    drives, and deleted it. this autorun.inf was not allowing me to open my
    drives on double click.

    mcafee, symantec or any other antivirus dont remove this autorun.inf file.
    please advise what should i do to protect my pc as a preventive measure.
    i have found combofix to be useful, but it is curative not preventive.

    Go to file and Folder options in the control panel and choose to " reset
    all" and also use the DOS command instead like this

    C:
    cd c:\
    dir *.inf
    type autorun.inf

    this will show you what you are dealing with

    to make sure you didnt have any other autorun.inf in any other drive and if
    you do please open it in notepad and there you will find the culprit.

    locate those file and delete them.
