Just looked at the log for the recent Malicious Software Removal Tool and see a lot of 'exceptions' which scares us a lot. We have an XP computer and believe the D drive is a "Recovery Partition" and cannot be infected.But the 11 exceptions show //D:\autorun.infwhich some postings on the Internet say refer to an virus/infection, etc.Is my computer infected? Can someone please let us know because, as I said, we are really worried.Please advise and thank you.AliceMicrosoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool v3.12, October 2010Started On Tue Oct 12 21:49:47 2010WARNING: Security policy doesn't allow for all actions MSRT may require.->Scan ERROR: resource file://D:\autorun.inf (code 0x00000021 (33))->Scan ERROR: resource file://D:\autorun.inf (code 0x0000054F (1359))->Scan ERROR: resource file://D:\autorun.inf (code 0x00000021 (33))->Scan ERROR: resource file://D:\autorun.inf (code 0x0000054F (1359))->Scan ERROR: resource file://D:\autorun.inf (code 0x00000021 (33))->Scan ERROR: resource file://D:\autorun.inf (code 0x0000054F (1359))->Scan ERROR: resource file://D:\autorun.inf (code 0x00000021 (33))->Scan ERROR: resource file://D:\autorun.inf (code 0x0000054F (1359))->Scan ERROR: resource file://D:\autorun.inf (code 0x00000021 (33))->Scan ERROR: resource file://D:\autorun.inf (code 0x0000054F (1359))->Scan ERROR: resource file://D:\autorun.inf (code 0x00000021 (33))->Scan ERROR: resource file://D:\autorun.inf (code 0x0000054F (1359))Engine internal result code = 80508015Results Summary:----------------No infection found.Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool Finished On Tue Oct 12 21:51:53 20101 person got this answerI do too

Thank you kindly.We never received an email notification of your reply. Should we have received an email notification?Alice

Thank you. What a refief to know nothing harmful.Why haven't I seen these errors before? Could be new "definitions" in this issue of MRT?No one else had these same errors also? Or, maybe, no one checked the MRT log?Thanks again.AliceP.S. Is this the new site for the MS Community Boards where I always posted previous messages?BTW: I didn't receive email notice of your response even though I checked the "notify me."

Hi,The log says that the scan could not run due to some security policy.Probably there is no permission to access the D drive; hence it’s giving this error.You can ignore the error message as it says no infection found.If you are still worried, you may try running a virus scan using a different software.You can use Microsoft security essentials.
