Wow! Is That so Simple!
what’s the logic behind this?
how exactly it works?
how could a blank notepad saved as autorun.inf serve as antivirus?
i need more explanation!
The concept behind this is to overwrite the autorun.inf with an empty one.. because an empty autorun can’t execute automatically.. having said that.. some virus and trojan will still overwrite the autorun.inf file automatically.. So if you are already infected then it will not work out as should be.. hope it helps!
Good advise, though I woonder how it will work? I use ‘Kaspersky’. I am 100% satisfied. Its the best
Kaspersky saved me more than few hundred times.. the best a man can get for AV.. since 1997 I’ve build my trust on it
Right now i am using avg. Working fine.
Free AV is not an option… I wouldn’t trust an AV which is Free, Also AVG false alarm is way too much .. even AVAST is much more better in detection rate.. I’ve experienced 25 AV software and still KAV is number one on detection and cleanup.
The concept behind that is overwriting The Original Autorun.inf with a Notepad File.
Wow.thats a simple trick
.btw i have been hearing about this autorun.inf since long.although no one mentioned what its threats are? :-\
Coool man!!:)
The concept of getting rid to this was indeed simple but even then most of us couldn’t figure it out….
Any ways thank you for that
wow, that is great idea .
I wonder.. will it work.. If Yes, then all the viruses will fail..and that too so easily.. I doubt in its plausibility
I am using Autorun Eater for the same, its working good for me.
