passbyer,
An autorun.ini contains a set of instructions that are carried out when you access the drive.
Like when you put a a DVD into your drive it will automatically start playing the DVD.
This can sometimes be used to install viruses on your PC if the autorun.ini contains instructions to install a virus or spyware program when you plug your player. In this case the autorun.ini contained instructions to run the autorun.exe which was hidden in the recycler folder. Autorun.exe could have been a worm, virus , trojan or adware that would have been installed on your PC.
