Thanks.

Empty your recycle bin and try again. Also try right clicking the drive and
select explore.

At the prompt, enter the following two commands:

attrib -h -r -s C:\Autorun.inf

del C:\Autorun.inf

Make sure that your anti-malware software is running, then download the
latest signatures and run a full scan.

If you don't have comprehensive anti-malware software, that's like
driving a car without seats belts or air bags. Either way, you're
eventually going to get hammered. Install comprehensive anti-malware
software and learn how to use its features. A 'comprehensive' solution
scans for all types of malicious software in the background, on demand
and on schedule.

For now try scanning your system with /several/ of the better online
scanners, such as:
Kaspersky Antivirus (http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner)
Panda ActiveScan (http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan)

Download HijackThis from www.trendsecure.com. Run it, save a log, and
post the log at one of the many sites that support HJT, such as
spywarewarrior.com, bleepingcomputer.com, and temerc.com -- but not
here. Within a day, sometimes within an hour, you'll have one-on-one
step-by-step advice from a security expert on cleaning up any
infestations—or you'll have a clean bill of health from the volunteer
expert.

Even the best detection and removal software can't fix every malware
infection. If none of the above remove the infection, you may want to
show the computer to a professional.

What do you mean exactly by it "didn't do anything"? Any error messages
at the cmd prompt? The commands have to be typed exactly. Is it the
C: drive? If not, you'd need to substitute the C: with whatever drive (letter)
you are having problems with.

To answer your question, yes, if you are getting the message
"C:\resycled\boot.com is not a valid Win32 application", then you apparently
have some sort of infestation.
