Trouble:
We have been getting lots of virus problems which infect computers through autorun.inf file as autoplay is enabled on the windows drive by default.
1. Open Start >> Run or press Window + r
2. Open registry by typing regedit.exe and press enter
3. Navigate to the following path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
4. Double-click the NoDriveAutorun registry key and type the value in Hexadecimal as FF ( or 255 in Decimal). Note: If their is no NoDriveAutorun registry key, just create it by right-clicking the right side area of the regedit window, then select New >> DWord Value >> type NoDriveAutorun and press enter.
5. Exit registry and restart your computer for changes to come into effect.
This is how you can disable autorun on all your drives and at least will prevent autorun activity of virus infected USB pendrives or CD’s and avoid infection through autorun.inf viruses.
