| how sure are you that your comp is malware free? If unsure use tools listed »Security Cleanup FAQ »Mandatory Steps Before Requesting Assistance
Otherwise, could you post a screen shot ?

| the problem exists in a computer of a freind of mine..
that comp has ran adaware and spybot... but problem still persists
i formatted it a while back and the autoplay still came back... havnt had any ideas about it until now when i decided to post in forum...
the autoplay pops up and runs and then goes away ... it comes and goes a lot..
thats the best explaination i could give...
after reading bunch of sites.. i am assuming it could have came from a usb drive?? |

What brand of computer is involved?
If it is an HP computer it is found here:
C:hp\bin\ folder as AUTOPLAY.exe
When searching for the file be sure you have the settings checked to search all files and folders as well as hidden files and folders.
