Removing Virus From Pen Drive Permenently

As for AutoRun, it will run an executable file

instructed by autorun.inf file. There’s no chance for you to Cancel autorun at all.

Microsoft way of disabling autorun is editing the NoDriveTypeAutoRun value from

registry. However, this is hard to do in practice. First, it’s a per-user key, which

in a corporate environment is harder to manipulate reliably than a per-PC key.

Secondly, there are several bugs known for it. And thirdly, a little-known registry

key called MountPoints2 contains cached information about every memory stick or

other removable device which your PC has ever seen, and that overrides the

NoDriveTypeAutoRun value if you insert a volume which the PC already knows about.


Here is the registry key that you should use to globally block autorun.inf. Open

notepad or any text editor, copy the text below and save it as NoAutoRun.reg. Make

sure the extension is .reg and not .txt. Run it and click Yes if you’re asked “Are

you sure you want to add the information in C:\NoAutoRun.reg to the registry?”
