Ok ok i will tell you manually just follow the steps,
- First you Restart your computer to safe mode !

- Starting computer in SafeMode was useful when troubleshooting computer problems by limiting the resources it loads when Windows is started.
- During boot-up process Press F8 on keyboard continuously until selection appears
- Use Arrow Up+Down to select SafeMode on the selections menu.
- Hit Enter to proceed.
- Now you opened the system in safe mode
- Open command prompt –> Go to the drive. (“cd e:” – use your drive letter )
- Go to the root directory (cd \ )
- then change the attributes of the autorun file
attrib -h -r -s autorun.inf
-h = remove Hidden property
-r = remove Read only property
-s = remove System file property
