Autorun Deactivator

Autorun Deactivator is a small Windows application built specifically for helping you identify and clean the AutoRun virus from your computer. Plus, it is able to detect various types of malware that may be present on your hard drive or USB flash drives.

The utility runs quietly in the system tray until called upon when it reveals several configuration settings to tinker with. In order to access the dedicated parameters, you need to perform a right-click mouse operation on the program’s icon from the system tray and choose the “Restore” option.

Although the configuration panel is quite intuitive, there’s no support for a help manual that could offer you additional information about each built-in feature.

Autorun Deactivator automatically detects the partitions found present on your system and lets you scan the desired one. As soon as you pick the drive, it automatically triggers the scanning operation and displays the detected viruses in a dedicated panel.

You may scan your USB flash drives in order to make sure that malicious threats are not present and open the USB drive in a safe mode. What’s more, you can disable the AutoRun option for CD-ROMs.

It offers support for a Temp Cleaner option which helps you delete cookies, temporary Internet files, history, and other items stored in your computer. You can make use of filters (file extensions) in order to remove the items usually placed in the directories that include the temporary files.

Plus, the utility comes packed with several additional features, such as “Fix Task Manager,” “Fix RegEdit,” “Fix Folder Option,” but since you cannot access a help manual, you don’t know for sure what these functions actually do.

Last but not least, you can make the application run at Windows startup and change the looks of the tool by selecting from different skins available. On the downside, Autorun Deactivator hangs frequently and the configuration panel disappears from your screen.

Autorun Deactivator offers a simple software solution for helping you detect and delete the AutoRun viruses. However, improvements in the functionality area and a help manual are more than welcomed.
