Prevent Pc From Virus in Pen Drives

Most of time before inserting pendrive i am worried wdr pendrive has some virus in it or not.... so best method is to disable playing the autorunfile by windows(Which You can enable any time you wish).
Autorun is a file that tells windows what to do when a pen drive is inserted

Here are the steps to disable the autorun.

1.Go to start ->Run

Type gpedit.msc

press Enter

2.In that go to Administrative Templates->System->Turn off autoplay

3.Now set it to Enabled if you want to turn off the autorun feature.

The default value will not configured

4.There is one more option in it

We have to select between All drives/ CD-ROM drives

Select CD-ROM drive if you want to disable autorun only for CDS or select all drives if you want to turn off autorun for all drives including your pen drives or flash drives
