You know those obnoxious computer viruses that are copied to your USB  and it seems impossible to delete them?, well, a few weeks ago they won the war, and that is why Windows decided to take action of last resort: Autorun off system operating systems that still managed.

The autorun feature first introduced in Windows 95, Which allowed automatically to reproduce an external drive (either USB drives, flash drives, external hard drives, etc …) based on the contents of this and a series of instructions written in the file autorun.infBut because this file is reproduced immediately to connect the unit, became a persistent target for viruses, trojans and other malware.

And is that the malware that infected USB drives was massive and spread too fast, Enough to have to take our pen drive to a cyber café, a place of views and even their own offices to be a very bad surprise.

Eye, and are not to be confused, the Autoplay is a function associated with it but it has not been discontinued: The Autoplay was implemented in Windows XP and makes a scan of the contents of the unit and then give us suggestions on what program should we use to view the content, mainly used for CDs and DVDs.

According to Jerry Bryant, with this change Windows is expected to become more secure operating systemBecause there is no doubt that these attacks are one of the most global impact have.
