AutoRun Disable by Endpoint Protector Specifications
|
Secure your PC by disabling possibly dangerous AutoRun features for CD/DVD, USB, and Blu-ray.
Of course you use antivirus software and maybe a firewall, too, but keeping your PC safe only starts there. One of the simplest yet smartest things you can do is disable Autorun in Windows. It's a convenience that runs programs automatically; for example, Autorun starts playing a CD as soon as you close the tray. It's even more convenient for the viruses and other malware that use autorun.exe to do everything from infiltrating your system to destroying it. One of the simplest ways to disable Autorun completely or selectively is with AutoRun Disable by Endpoint Protector. This free tool lets you disable Autorun completely with one click, or disable it selectively by drive type or letter. It handles both internal and external hard drives, optical drives, network drives, and removable drives such as USB devices. It even has an option for unknown drive types.
