I encountered this virus, my shop got infected few months ago, this comes with autorun.inf and other .exe and .pif file, I tried to end the process of the virus but it keeps on turning back every time I delete it, I back up all my files in drive D and formatted drive C, but then the virus came back, I back up my files to other HDD, and reformatted all my drives, it is clean but when I started to copy my back up files to the drive it came back again. so I deleted all my files I thought that all my files were infected by this virus. Did you encountered this kind of virus, and what did you do to save all your files???? any suggestions on how to delete this virus?

When i get in situation like that i send all needing files in D/E/F . Format C and dont use any program that use the files in the otherd drives . First thing to do after reinstalling is to put an anitvirus . Depending on the virus all your exes will be deleted and you will have to look for new but normaly for games you can find for friends and programs you can just reinstall them . I think your backup triger the exes and when they are trigered even if you reinstall the viruses spread . Well still once upon a time i have this virus that somehow got trigered by every drive while windows loaded and i needed to format them all . ;(

yeah I guess so, so my only resort was to format all my drive and say bye bye to my files. do you mean all the .exe file will be restore once I triggered them on the other drive for example when I format C, I can still have that virus when I go to d:??

yeah this kind of problem can affect our business or personal life, this can corrupt files in our computers and if you don't have back ups the end of the world.

For me use the colloidal water spray it to your body or drink it so that it will out.

Wow never encountered anything like that, the worst thing I encountered was a malware that malwarebytes detected, it keeps coming back even after I delete it and restart the computer as instructed. I only got it out while repeating the scan on safe mode.

I can't even go to safe mode with this virus, when the safe mode is booting, the screen will turn black and then the pc restarts, this is the worst for me.

Restart pc and keep on hitting the F8 key, I admit I do not know much but I hope this will make the computer go to safe mode,good luck

Anti-virus would be the first option.. the worst thing you can do is to reformat your pc, easiest way to get rid of virus.

Avast or AVG are awesome antivirus softwares to use. Also it is a must that you download AdAware and run that. That should take care of anything wrong in your system. If you still have the problem. Copy over all of your files to a separate drive. Download your drivers from your computer manufactures website and burn as an iso to a flashdrive. Download boot'n'nuke and burn as an iso to a cd. Turn off your computer and boot with the CD. It'll wipe your drive entirely. Then when you turn it back on make sure you have the flashdrive plugged in and boot from there to use the drivers. Reinstall your OS and other essentials. Download any drivers you missed. Don't do this if you don't have CDs for your OS.
