Hard Drive Problem
 

When I double-click on a hard drive or my thumb drive in My Computer, it doesn't open like it should. Instead, it gives me an "Open With" window asking me what program I want to use to open it. It's irritating because it's a disk drive, not a file. My external hard drives used to open in a new window, instead of the same window but now they have the same problem I mentioned above. I can't figure out how to fix this problem. Can anybody help me with this?

This is a virus -- this was the SAME VIRUS my brother infected my systems with a couple weeks ago. It was a thumb-drive virus. Disable your autoplays !!!!

Look for some piece of crap called "boot.com" as a hidden file anywhere on your computer, or in your registry. This is a pervasive little pest, hard to get rid of. It might have infected all of your external hard drives and thumb drives.

Google for it some more.

You have autoplays all over your system, it appears.
