Not all CDs have an autorun. What are the instructions from the
manufacturer for using this CD? If you want to run the installation program
despite the warning from Norton (which could be a false alarm) then you may
need to look for the correct program to execute, such as SETUP or INSTAL.

I did not really say that the file was being deleted from a CD, but I am
not
sure. I assume it is from the hard drive. I am going to try and explain
this
to you one more time. I uninstalled my Canon scanner yesterday because I
was
having some problems with it. When the uninstall was finished I placed the
Canon install CD in the CD-Rom drive and and instead of starting the
install
a box popped up from Norton Anti-Virus stating that I had a virus in the
file
D:\autorun.exe. It stated that it could not be repaired or quarentined. I
had
the choice of deleting the infected file or running it anyway. I chose to
delete it. Apparently I didn't delete it after all because I just inserted
the Canon disk in again and I received the same Norton Virus message. I
tried
deleting it, but it would not let me delete it. It said: Norton Anti-Virus
was unable to delete this file. The disk it is on maybe write protected.
So,
is it on my Canon disk or on the hard drive???? I don't have a clue as to
how
a virus would have gotten on my installation disk. I have not used this
disk
in 5 years. The virus that Norton says it is infected with is
C95.CIH.damaged. I put in another CD to be installed and the installation
process began without a problem. So, I don't know and at this point it
doesn't really matter. I will just buy another scanner and not worry about
it. I just don't know what happened. Now about the error message.
When I got the error messages before I had gone to startrun and then
typed
in D:\autorun.exe and got the message. Then I typed in D:\autorun.inf and
got
the exact error message. That message is posted in one of my previous
posts.
Also, I went to startfindfiles and folders and I put in the above files,
(of course not together) and it came up that no files or folders were
found.
I am sorry that I have not made myself clear to you, but I don't know how
else to explain it. And also, I don't know how put a file in notepad to
view
it. Considering I can't find the file when searching in files and folders
I
don't think it is there.
Thanks,
Kemm
