    After scanning the files, you can use the search tool of windows to search for autorun.inf files then delete them all.

    If on a network, you can disable autoplay using a GPO.
    You can block acccess to CREATE, READ, DELETE, COPY etc any autorun.inf file using SEP.
    I setup an application rule - nothing can create or access or read a file called autorun anywhere on any computer in our agency now thanks to SEP.
    So even if there IS still a worm or virus attempting to create them, SEP blocks said creation or access attempts and better yet, NAMES the process that's attempting to read/create/run said file.
    Go into SEPs application and device control and setup an application rule to block such files - IF you are running SEP and not SAV.

    That will tell you where they are and what is attempting to access them - from that you can find and kill that process.
