virus on external hard drive

as the subject says – it seems we have a virus on our external hard drive…..all our photos and movies are on there
Answer #1
Run a virus scan on that drive…?
Answer #2
disable autorun then attach the drive and scan also i would suggest afta the scan back up the stuff u need and format it to be on the safe side
Answer #3
take the harddrive to a computer with an updated Virus protector, then go into “My COmputer”, then back click on the harddrive icon, and Scan it. After that it should be good as new.
But once you plug it into the computer where it got the virus from, it will be back on there within seconds
