Sorry if there are any post that explain this, but i coudnt find.
I'm having a problem with my flashdrive.
Something is "destroing" my autorun.inf file. My computer is not infected.
What could it be?

If by destroying you mean removing, then it's likely your antivirus.
Side note: autorun.inf can only be used to rename the drive and change its icon, it can't be used to open programs anymore.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Oh, i have panda cloud intalled. I disable it, but it doesnt change anything..
Well, portableapp detected that the autorun config of the device changed.
What does it chage than?
thank you
It just alerts on a change to be sure you're aware so you can check it to be sure it's safe. Something changed it, but we can't automatically determine what.

Ok, thanks!
I thought that this change would block portableapp to autorun hehe
No, it can't anymore. Microsoft removed actual autoplay for USB drives when Windows 7 launched and applied a security patch to XP and Vista to turn it off. As such, we don't even add the run command to the autorun.inf anymore. Just the icon and the drive name.
