Disable USB Autorun to Save PC from USB Viruses

[Kang]

Mostly the viruses that multiply through USB sticks use the autorun function of USB as it does not require any user confirmation and runs secretly in the background, unlike a CD or DVD.

The best way to keep USB viruses from injecting themselves to your PC or laptop is to Disable the USB Autorun feature and I will teach you how to do it.

1. Click the Start button, then Run and enter "gpedit.msc" without the quotes
2. Go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System
3. Scroll down to "Turn off Autoplay" and double click on it
4. Click on the "Enabled" radio button, then for "Turn off Autoplay on" select "All drives"

Asante mkuu kwa hili somo. Ni muhimu maana virus ni tatizo. Ila hii tutorial yako ni kwa wale wanaotumia XP Pro tu.

Kwa wale wanaotumia XP home edition tumia njia hii:

XP Home users will need to make the changes by editing the registry directly. To begin, click Start and then click Run

Type regedit and click OK. The Registry Editor window will open.

In the left pane, navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
Policies
Explorer.

With Explorer highlighted, in the right-pane right click the value NoDriveTypeAutoRun and select Modify from the drop down menu. The base value will be set to Hexadecimal. If not, select Hexadecimal.

Type 95 and click OK.
Note that this will stop Autorun on removable/USB drives, but still allow it on CD ROM drives. If you want to disable autorun on both, substitute b5 for the 95. (Thanks to Ian L. of Manitoba for the tip).

Exit Registry Editor by selecting File, then choosing Exit from the menu.
You will now need to reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.
