    Auto.exe: drive opens in new window!

    I have two drives that open in a new window when double-clicked: one is a hard drive and the other is a flash drive. When I right-click on the hard drive (drive D), instead of having the first option as Open like in my normal and problem-free drive C, it has Auto as its first option. I think this causes the drive to open in a new window with the folders list open even though I have made sure the folder options are set to my preferences. I tried regsvr32 /i shell32.dll, didn't work. I tried setting the directory's, drive's, and folder's value to "none" in the default registry and didn't work as well. It's annoying because as if I haven't any more problems on the computer. I've accidentally wiped clean my music folder and now I have to redownload my songs all over again.

    How do I fix this and make my drive D and flash drive open in the same window like Drive C?

    Welcome,

    Be advised this may or may not be a malware issue, we shall soon see.




    Download Dr.Web CureIt to the desktop:
    ftp://ftp.drweb.com/pub/drweb/cureit/drweb-cureit.exe

    * Doubleclick the drweb-cureit.exe file and Allow to run the express scan
    * This will scan the files currently running in memory and when something is found, click the yes button when it asks you if you want to cure it. This is only a short scan.
    * Once the short scan has finished, mark the drives that you want to scan.
    * Select all drives. A red dot shows which drives have been chosen.
    * Click the green arrow at the right, and the scan will start.
    * Click 'Yes to all' if it asks if you want to cure/move the file.
    * When the scan has finished, look if you can click next icon next to the files found:

    * If so, click it and then click the next icon right below and select Move incurable as you'll see in next image:


    This will move it to the %userprofile%\DoctorWeb\quarantaine-folder if it can't be cured. (this in case if we need samples)
    * After selecting, in the Dr.Web CureIt menu on top, click file and choose save report list
    * Save the report to your desktop. The report will be called DrWeb.csv
    * Close Dr.Web Cureit.
    * Reboot your computer!! Because it could be possible that files in use will be moved/deleted during reboot.
    * After reboot, post the contents of the log from Dr.Web you saved previously in your next reply. You can use Notepad to open the DrWeb.cvs report.




    If you have previously downloaded ComboFix,please delete that version now.

    Now download COMBOFIX and save to your desktop:

    Note:

    It is IMPORTANT that it is saved directly to your desktop

    Close any open browsers.

    Disconnect from the Internet.

    Double click on combofix.exe and follow the prompts.

    When it's finished it will produce a log.
    Post the entire contents of C:\ComboFix.txt into your next reply.

    Note:
    Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running.

    That may cause the program to freeze/hang.

    Do NOT post the ComboFix-quarantined-files.txt unless I ask.

    *Note*
    In case your Antivirus or any other realtime scanner is displaying an alert after you downloaded Combofix or while you use Combofix,please disable your scanner and redownload Combofix again.
    Some scanners may see some combofix related components as suspicious and block or delete them while there's nothing wrong with them.
