Malware

 

Disable Autorun so flash drives can’t automatically infect a system:

 

Save the following text in a file that ends in .REG (like removeautorun.reg).  There are only 3 lines - the 3rd line starts with @.

 

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf]

@="@SYS:MadeUpNameThatDoesNotExist"

 

Double-click on the .REG file you created and tell it to add the text to the Windows registry. 

Flash drives, CDs, etc won’t automatically run a file.  They will simply open up when you double-click on them.
