Variety of malware is very significant.And with every type of virus is necessary to fight his method.In this article we will deal with only one type of "malware", almost a traditional practice among viruses has become an entry in the startup.Driving the action for malicious programs such items:
Option 1
you edit the working paper with a flash drive already "infected" the home PC.
Option 2
virus is prescribed in startup your stick, and after you bring a flash drive to another computer, just when you install the drive in the USB-connector is an infection of another PC.Most likely, such a distribution mechanism was provided in order to circumvent the protection of corporate networks, where a reliable firewall installed, but the system administrator did not care about the local PC and the safety of workers, employees can bring all sorts of removable media.
Distribution of such programs due to the fact that by default, the system Windows XP / 7 / Vista Startup from removable media is allowed.It made it more likely for the user's convenience.But this case is more appropriate saying "the road to hell is paved with good intentions."Fortunately, this vulnerability is easy to close the appropriate settings, if you are wondering about how to disable autorun flash drive and get rid of another problem in Windows.For systems of different generations (Windows XP / Vista and Seven), this procedure is slightly different.Let's get started.
In System Windows XP (Windows 2000 Server family and everything is done on the same principle) have to go to the Group Policy Editor.The most convenient way to work through the script gpedit.msc, started from the "Start & gt; Run."There must select subsection "Computer Configuration" and it "Administrative Templates", which must be present sub-item "System".You need a policy setting under the name "Disable Startup".By default, it is not specified, it should be set to "Off" and choose from the dropdown menu "all drives" and then click "OK".Now put the flash drive into the slot and make sure that nothing runs.So you have solved the problem of how to disable the auto-run flash drive.More than no virus spreads so will not disturb you.
The family of operating systems, Windows 7 (except for Basic and Home edition, where everything is done the previous method or through the registry), this operation is a little different in the direction of even more convenience on how to disable autorun flash drive.After all, Microsoft's developers are largely considered the weaknesses of systems of the previous generation.Perhaps the most important of them - quite inconvenient location of important settings, which include disabling AutoPlay, so the simple question of how to disable the auto-run flash drive Windows 7 is solved quickly.You just go to the menu item "Auto" icon "All Control Panel Items", which, obviously, is in the "Control Panel".Remove the box "Use AutoPlay for all media and devices", press "Save".For the changes to take effect you will need to restart your computer.
This could end our story, if there was no one more universal way to disable AutoPlay.Of course, we'll discuss the use of the Registry Editor.Settings on startup, scattered in three different places.First, disable the CD-ROM, if any, because this component of the system is obsolete in many PCs, including desktops and notebooks, it is not used at all.To do this, set the value (0) parameter Autorun, located in the bush SYSTEM (subsection HKEY LOCAL MACHINE) in the following path: CurrentControlServices & gt;Services & gt;CD-ROM.
Later in the same section, go to the next bush - SOFTWARE.It also needs to set up and autostart removable media in explorer.exe, shell system.Change the value of NoDriveTypeAutoRun to (FF).Its location - Microsoft & gt;Windows & gt;Current Version & gt;Policies & gt;Explorer.This value is not the only thing that we need to change.For a complete prohibition of the second startup parameter of the same name will also need to assign a value (FF).This time, go to the registry subkey HKEY_CURRENT_USER, but exactly the same way as the previous one.The problem of how to remove autoplay stick resolved definitively.For the changes to take effect, you will need to restart your computer.
