Cannot open a drive due to "Access is denied" message?

There is a virus (I can't recall which one), which prevents you from accessing your drives. Usually this happens to all the drives at once. It uses the autorun command. Now you will think it can be deleted manually, but the main part is it is hidden and if try to activate 'show hidden files' then you are wrong because it again deactivates that function and you can't see the file. To delete that file you have to do this

start>Run=type "CMD" without quotes and press enter.

follow these:

1. go to C:\ by typing C:\>cd c:\
2. type C:\>attrib -S -H -R autorun.inf
3. delete the file by typing C:\>del autorun.inf
4. goto drive D: by typing C:\>d:
5. repeat step 1,2 and 3 for all your drives (say you have C,D,E,F).
6. Close the DOS command window
7. Open task manager and "end task" the explorer.exe in the processes tab (don't worry about the blank screen)
8. From Application Tab in taskManager, select "new Task" button, type "explorer.exe"
