Huh, there are a lot of legit uses for autorun.inf (mainly the Autoplay function), so it's not necessarily a virus. More info needed, though.

Autorun isn't a single thing, there can be autorun files in all sorts of things, and autorun itself is not a virus. Hell, I make my own autorun.inf files for my flash drives, digital cameras, and flash cart MicroSDs.

UPDATE: i opened it in notepad it says AUTORUN open bitlockergo.exe or something like that is it still a virus

i has to do with
bit locker drive encryption, i think

 

[Minox]

Bitlocker is a drive encryption function that comes with later versions of Windows.
