There are a number of worms which exploit the autorun feature of your removable media. This is normally caused by infecting your autorun.inf file. A counter measure to this is to disable the auto run feature. Fir3net.com has supplied the relevant registry key so that you can disable the auto feature. The registry key to re-enable this feature has also been included, but we recommend you leave this disabled. |
