    I have the Avira autorun blocking setting on.

    It just displayed a message, saying it blocked "Y:\autorun.inf".

    I have no ext HDDs or pendrives plugged in. What could that be?

    I've never seen a Y: drive before...

    Download the programs and update to the latest definitions, then run 'm.
    Both can be used with an AV installed.

    both tools came up with nothing, neither did a full Avira scan.

    The autorun blocker hasn't poped up again yet, so I guess it was nothing...
