Pen drive behaves like an exe file

[vj]

Hi all,

Since some days, my pen drive (USB memory stick) has started behaving
like an exe file. That is, when I double click its icon in MyComputer,
instead of opening the folder (which used to happen earlier), the
computer now asks me "which program do you want to use to open the
file". Though I can open the folder by right-clicking and then 'open'.
I remember the first time it behaved like this, a virus was detected
and deleted by McAfee. Does the present behaviour of the pen drive
indicate presence of a further virus (I have scanned it with Mcafee as
well as NAV, but no virus), and is it possible to change it back so
that double-clicking opens the folder?
Thanks

See if there is an "autorun.inf" file in the root folder of the drive. If so,
rename or delete it.
