RE: Virus? how does it even exist?
Does it do anything when you type "E:\" in explorer manually (without the quotes)?
Might also have been a removable drive (USB device?), or worst case a virus hiding on it's own virtual drive.

Start > Run > diskmgmt.msc
Some disks ship with a hidden recovery partition. If you look on there, it will show you if there are any hidden partitions on the disk

Go for BitDefender Total Security, it is an utterly professional Antivirus solution and stuff. Moreover, if you PM me, you might be able to obtain a method to get it working for 4,000 days. 
nod32 is WAYYYYYYYYY better than bitdefender. Spoiler: the game.

Back on topic please.
The only thing I can think of is the earlier suggestion of a removable storage device. Those usually have an autorun file as well.

If you open the command prompt and type
c:\folder\you\are\in> e:
does it change to drive e or say invalid drive?

O.P. RE: Virus? how does it even exist?
Right well, the virus is:
Win32/Autorun.Agent.JM Worm
It pops up whenever a usb device (even my printer which has removable storage) is turned on/ plugged in to the computer
When the device is in, the warning message comes up, saying it has been moved to quarantine, but closing it, it will come back a few seconds later.
Googling just took me to a list of virus's that NOD32 virus now finds in its updates.... nothing about removing it.
Can anyone help with this?
thanks
