The problem is that this feature is also used by malware in order to spread by infecting as soon as a new drive is inserted in a computer. How to prevent this ?Īctually Windows OS uses “ AUTORUN.INF” file from removable drives in order to know which actions to perform when a new external storage device, such as a USB drive or CD/DVD, is inserted into PC. Now, if the PC is affected by the autorun.inf virus it will then be transferred to the pen drive. We all use the pen drive or usb these days for transferring data from PC to removable disk. I want to know if there is any software that will prevent virus from PC being transferred to pen drive?
