Why
Solution

Disable autorun by default under Windows to avoid infections through your removable drives: USB flash drives, external hard drives, MP3 players, cards, digital cameras, etc. ...

Why

When connected to a PC, the infection is transmitted via removable drives such as cookies!
Here are some examples:
- AdobeR.exe
- RavMon.exe
- Host.exe
- Svchost.exe
- ise32.exe.
- Copy.exe
- MS32DLL.dll.vbs

Solution

Create a .reg file
Open Notepad and copy/paste the following code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer] 
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:000000ff 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] 
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:000000ff

Name it as: autorun_disable.reg
Double-click the file to run. You will receive a message asking if you want to add data in the registry.
Click Yes to allow the change.
Restart the system for the changes to take effect
