Delete Autorun.inf Virus Manually using just Winrar

Once it happened to a friend of mine, 

when his newly bought Laptop was infected with this 

autorun.inf virus. This virus corrupted almost all the  

drives on the Hard disk, and when ever he tried to 

double click on the drive or opening  any drive it 

opened in a new window. In some cases, when your

 drive is infected with this Autorun.inf virus, you 

won't be able to access the drive completely. 

You have to browse the drive by Exploring it i.e;

 Ctrl+E keys from the keyboard.

Sometimes ever you will not be able to see hidden files 

even if you have Show hidden files Enabled under Folder

 Options. well, this are all the wonders of this

 Autorun.inf virus.
