Problem with local disk
Posted by Alejandro on November 23rd, 2007


Hi, when I go to My PC and try to open my local disk it asks me with what
program do I want to open it, so I can't open it. Can anyone help me?

You mention a Local Disk, and "My PC". "GotoMyPC" is software that lets
you remotely control systems. If that's what you're referring to, you
might try their Help page; it could be a security setting, I guess.

AFAIR there is some virus (popular lately but I don't remember the name)
creating autorun files on root directory of the drive. The autorun file
changes default action taken when clicking on the drive icon. Antivirus
software removes main virus file but *.inf files usually are still on
the root drive and the effect may be just like in this situation. Use
other filemanager or use "explore" in Windows Explorer, enable view of
system and hidden fies and then search root directories of each drive
for aurorun.inf files. If you find such files delete it.
