ok thanks..find already.urmm great software..congratz..most import can repair registry back such as folders option and registry task..i have one sugesstion why don’t include also for registry repair on “search” option since some autorun virus or whatever we call it disable it also. just suggest since i don’t find registry fix for “search” option on this autorun eater. if already in registry fix sowie me..
Old McDonald: Glad you found it useful. The reason I added only 3 specific registry fixes was that because they were the most common ones to be modified by malwares. To re-enable the search option, you can always search on Google for the registry key. Modifying registry keys can be risky though so please be very careful. Thank you for the feedback.

I really suffered a long day today. and was about to format my whole hard drives and re-install windows again.
i swear i installed about 10 Anti-Malware and Anti-Spyware programs today and ran about 15 system scans. and nothing could remove the darn autorun.inf that kept me from using my windows explorer.
the anti-virus software could remove the virus itself. the virus is called “Packer.Malware.NSAnti” and it runs with a file called “qa8sywva.cmd”
but the anti-virus and anti-spyware could not remove the autorun.inf . and i was still unable to use my local drives.
only this tiny little program that is 900KB that saved me from losing my work. and did the job that huge software could not.
i really want to thank the people who did it. and am running the program on my tray forever from now on. it is a must run protection for windows.
Old McDonald: I’m really glad Autorun Eater was of great help to you. Please feel free to leave any feedback if you have any questions or suggestions.
