Disabling Autorun for Stopping Pen Drive Viruses

Viruses spread from computers to computers by targetting the main epidemic source of the Pen Drive’s Autorun in mainly XP and later windows based systems. Antiviruses help but there are numerous viruses created and spreaded worldwide before your AntiVirus company can even prepare an update. So the Circumtances tell us that Disabling the autorun feature is always the better option and Heres the steps:

1. Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc and then OK.


2. Look Right then go to Computer Configuration-> Administrative Templates -> System
3. Scroll Down and double click on “Turn off Autoplay”.



4. Enable It and select “Turn off Autoplay on: All Drives” and the Autorun will be disabled.

But you are not secured yet, dont double click or select one of the Right-Click menu options in the pen drive’s icon, they are hacked and may activate the virus. Instead, after Opening “My Computer” click on the “Folders” on the bar at the top and click on the drive that appears on the left hand side or else you right click on the pendrive and click/select explore instead of autorun and open. Then do whatever you want.

Hope this helps and thanks a lot for reading.

Rectification of "USB Pen Drive not opening" problem

It usually happens when your antivirus removes the viruses but references are left to autorun files created by virus and hence when try to open, it shows OPEN with dialog box and "always use this application" box is grayed out.

If content of flash drive is not important then you can format it .

OR

simply open my computer and in address bar type drive letter of your drive, say its M:
then t ype
M:


OR

Goto Run --> type "cmd" then you will get command line,
now type :

Code:

fsutil volume dismount M:


Here M: is your PEN drive letter,

After this try to open your drive normally.
