Protect Windows Machine From Autorun Viruses

                                  Autorun is a basic feature of Windows and other operating systems that automatically opens important data on a disc, guiding itself with a secret little file known as “autorun.inf”. The best thing to do in this case is to disable autorun entirely. If you’re using Windows 7 or 8, you can follow this process:
  • Press “Win + R” to open the “Run” dialog.
  • Type gpedit.msc and press “Enter.” This will open the group policy editor.
  • Navigate to “Local Computer Policy -->“Computer Configuration --> Administrative Templates --> Windows Components ---> AutoPlay Policies”. Once you’re there, double-click “Turn off Autoplay.
  • Enable this features and Apply
