Solved Is this autorun.inf virus in usb drive?

Question: Do I have the autorun.inf virus on my USB?

Hello,
After a regular scan of my usb drive, avast said it could not scan some files. This file was the autorun.inf.
I then went on to scan with malwarebytes anti malware premium. It said everything was safe.
I am able to safely eject the drive.
There was an instance a few days ago where I might have put the drive in a shared PC.
There are some important files in the USB.
Pic is the avast result.

-Thank you.

Normally autorun.inf file is legit.
You can open that file in Notepad and see what's inside.
Paste the content of it here and we'll take a look.

There is no such file inside the usb.
No hidden file also.
But avast still says the same.
I scanned with malwarebytes anti malware premium and it says no problem with it.
?
-Thank you.

When you plug your flash drive in is it listed as drive F?

 

[maddy smith]

Yes, it is listed as drive F.

Well if the file is not there don't worry about it.

Feeling much secure while opening the files now.
