AutoPlay is a feature introduced in Windows XP which examines removable media and devices and, based on content such as pictures, music or video files, launches an appropriate application to play or display the content.If available, settings in an autorun.inf file can add to the options presented to the user.
Autorun.inf is the primary instruction file associated with the Autorun function. Autorun.inf itself is a simple text-based configuration file that tells the operating system which executable to start, which icon to use, and which additional menu commands to make available. Then, if the "Auto insert notification" feature is enabled (it is by default), Windows checks in the new disk's root directory for the existence of an "autorun.inf" file. If found, Windows then reads and follows the specific instructions this file defines. If no autorun.inf file is found, then Windows refers to the new disk by its serial number and executes the default actions associated with the (data or audio) content on the disk.
This is so far the postive concepts of autorun.inf file.But now a days its being used commonly to spread viruses through USB drives by auto installing the virus file when any USB drive is plugged in.We have already discussed How to defend yourselves from autorun viruses and other attacks through USB drives.but here we are using a software called USB disk security.I think you all may know this already.anyway I am writing this article to those, who are not aware of this.USB disk security is the best to defend against autorun viruses and its automatically scans and deletes the autorun viruses quickly.
