I doubt that AutoPlay should be the first option to open my C drive, and there's a picture of what happens when I try to double click it. I can access my C drive by putting C:\ at the top. Also, Norton can't scan files inside of the C drive, it just says it scanned 0 files and that my computer is secure.
I believe I did remove it with spysweeper though, spysweeper could scan all the files in my C drive.
