Your PC is infected with Virus/Trojan/Spyware. Go for a full scan with the following software:

* http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html
* http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

Also make sure that they are updated to latest definition files and go for Full System Scan.

Else

You can always try Online Scanning. Here's the list of best Online Scanners: http://mrintech.com/5-best-online-vi...rs-you-can-use

Since its urgent, if you don't have the time to do all that virus-scanning, you can try Right-click > Explore option.

Create a shortcut or use Run for the exact location...(and use Command prompt dir, cd, etc. for navigation or finding the location you want)..

You could also try a Live Linux distro for accessing files...

Why is it important to open the pen drive by "double clicking" only?
Right click karke bhi to ho sakta hai!!! :roll:

Yup man it's a virus... Right click->open and go into your drive... Enable the option to show hidden files and folders.. Now delete the autorun.inf file to rectify this problem... Of course you must still perform a complete scan to completly remove this virus... Note that when you rightclick you might see two 'open' options, one simply reading 'open' and the other reading 'open(0)'. Choose the former NOT the latter as that could trigger the virus..

Where did he mention the word Pen. You need to remove the autorun.inf files from the drives. However they will reappear if your computer is still infected.

If your drives have been infected...forget about any anti virus software...here's what u do...trust me it works better than any anti virus software i know....

1. Backup any important files from C drive to any other drive
2. Format C drive
3. Install OS
4. Once the installation has finished, (follow this instruction to the letter) open "My Computer"
5. Go to folder options and select "Show hidden files and folders" and untick option "Hide extension for known file types"
6. Go to the address bar and select any drive,example E: DRIVE
7. Your drive is now opened through the address bar. Look for any suspicious files like "autorun.inf","New Folder.exe" etc., DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON ANY OF THESE FILES..... JUST DELETE THEM PERMANENTLY.
8. Once you have finished upto step 7, DO NOT CLICK "BACK", "FORWARD" or "UP"
9. Once you have finished upto step 7 for a drive, repeat from step 6 to 8 for all other drives.

Trust me this works better than any anti virus software that exists. I found this method on my own through sheer experience with all kinds of virus !

well, i got a solution for it, a file called Flash_Disinfector (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com...isinfector.exe) can be used to solve this problem. It does all the operations automatically. it makes a folder named autorun.inf in all drives, making it impossible for the virus to create a file autorun.inf which is used for autorun

Hey the best solution is PC Noob Killer. Search it in google. It can delete even the strongest viruses. I also had the same problem but it somewhat different in the fact that it opened a boot.com file when I double clicked. With PC Noob Killer you can search the folder or file with the virus and can delete it. I think it is a autorun virus. Try it.

"Trojan Remover"

(The 30 day trial version is full working only). Get the latest 6.7.6 update & turn-on the boot-time scan. Try it, am sure you will love this little program

Hi! there is one alternative also, but it isn't permanent.
Instead of browsing the drive by double-clicking it, select the folders option beside search tool on the tool bar.
May be it would be of some use to you.
