Since you posted in a newsgroup for viruses, is there some reason you
believe this is connected to a virus? The easiest and quickest fix is to
right-click on the drive icon and choose "Open". Then look for a file
called autorun.inf and if you find it, delete it.
Otherwise, do the normal scanning for viruses and malware:

of them in order to try to fix the problem. the problem originated when i
first installed apple itunes as it was needed so my brother could put songs
onto his ipod. but it could have been something else which may have triggered
it... i have also scanned the entire drive with avast anti virus, norton
internet security and kaspersky internet security (not installed at same
time)... and didn't find any viruses at all. also when trying to access
hidden files and folders you cannot as the option in tools doesn't apply. is
there any fix?? i have uninstalled itunes to try to fix it but it doesn't. i
have also tried registry cleaners and tried enabling some startup functions
in msconfig. but still no joy...
only thing i can think of is a clean install... only thing is i don't have
an install disk... so i'll have to get one of a torrent site... i wish
Microsoft would allow you to download a copy from there website, and for it
to be only usable with the licence key i already have... or for the computer
supplier to give you a copy with the purchase of the pc. anyway that is the
only thing i can think of to get around this problem.

I am sitting with exactly the same problem and this is my findings:
AVG anti-virus, does a scan, and it detects an autorun.inf "virus" and
a 2fitri something file. Obviously one removes it as it is melicious.
I have noticed that the moment this has been done, you get a problem:
If you double click on any of your drives in my computer, it brings up a
screen "open with". You can access the drives in all otherways but not
through "my computer" with a double click.
Does anyone have a solution that could actually work?
