Hello, All!

I installed xp pro, sp-2. When I open My Computer all of the drives show up
with normal drive icons but one, which has an icon that looks a bit like the
one for an internet link. Single clicks on all other drives opens them; for
the one sport clicking on it give a message that it is missing "scan.hta". I
can right click, select open and get access to the drive but why isn't it
like the others and what is scan.hta?

Thanks.

Colonel Blip.

Hi Colonel,

Enable Windows to Show all files and then locate the file Autorun.inf and
delete it from the root directory. (Example.. C:\ )

Restart Windows.

Does anyone actually know what scan.hta is?
I see from some other forums that antivirus utilities detect it as a malicious file... ???
