Always disable USB autorun- Complete virus protection
Always disable USB autorun- Complete virus protection:
I know its bit difficult to protect your PC safe from viruses and trojans. We cannot keep our USB safe and clean. Expecially in our colleges we guys exchange USB sticks constantly. I can say USB is the direct source of getting virus into our system directly. Most of the viruses that multiply through USB sticks use the autorun function of USB. Virus enters into our system as we keep USB and runs secretly in the background, unlike a CD or DVD.
The best way to keep away from virus is to disable Autorun option for USB. This step helps from injecting virus into your system.
Follow the steps to protect your system from virus
1) Click on Start button and go to RUN.
2)Type “gpedit.msc” without quotes in Run.
3)Go to computer configuration-> Administrative Templates -> System
4)Scroll down to “Turn off Autoplay” and double click on it.
5)Now click on the “Enabled” radio button, then for “Turn off Autoplay on” select “All drives”
This will now prevent any virus injecting into your system from USB.
