Some virus, especially worms, like pooh.vbs, spreads beacause of the autoplay function of USB Flash Drives. This guide will let you minimize virus from spreading and infecting your system.
First of all, you must log-in as an Administrator to do this.
Steps:
1. Open the Run dialog box ( [Windows] - [R] ), then type gpedit.msc, hit [Enter].
2. On the left pane, click "Administrative Templates", then "System".
3. On the right pane, locate "Turn Off Autoplay" and double-click on it.
4. Set it to "Enable" and choose among the drives ( CD - ROM or All Drives ) you wish to turn it off, below.
Hope this helps =)
