Avira Antivir repeatedly blocks external HD's autorun

[Muse]

I wouldn't care except that it has a popup and a quick beep-beep-beep, saying it's just blocked the autorun.inf that is on my Western Digital Elements 2TB USB hard drive attached to my desktop. The popup/beeping happens when I access the HD and occasionally it happens out of the blue for no apparent reason. :\ I poked around in Avira (woah, it just happened again, "... blocked for your security" it says on the popup) and I can't see any place I can make an exception for the WD drive's autorun, I'm not exactly suspicious of Western Digital here. I have to click OK to make the Antivir popup go away. Should I just delete that autorun.inf file? I have no idea what it wants to do, really.

You have to get into Expert Mode in Configuration of Antivir and you can uncheck Block autorun. It would be nicer and far more granular if I could select the file to make an exception for, but I see no other way. The popups have evidently ceased...
