    Softpedia Editor's Review for Autorun Eater

    Scan and Remove Suspicious 'autorun.inf' Files Automatically!

    Written by Elena Opris on October 25th, 2011

    How many times have you been in the possession of an infected removable device?

    You have already run an anti-virus at least a couple of time, formatted the device more than that, but that stubborn Autorun.inf is still infected with malware.

    Infecting the Autorun file on removable devices is inevitable, especially if you're used to sharing them with the computer system at work, or with your friends.

    Don't beat yourself up thinking you have to take some extreme measures (like formatting). Just use the Autorun Eater.

    This small utility freeware will take care of any Autorun files that were missed by the anti-virus programs, and it will do so automatically, even before you get to access the removable device. A warning message will always be displayed to you.

    To be on the safe side, Autorun Eater will automatically back up these files, in case they are "false positives".

    Installing the application will place it in the system tray, and it will run at all times without bothering you.

    Features include scanning local hard drives, setting priority (normal or high), setting removal method (automatic or asking for confirmation), closing autoplay (enable or disable), and splashing image (enable or disable).

    In addition, Autorun Eater can fix Task Manager, RegEdit, and Folder Options.

    Our tests ran smoothly, and we have nothing but words of praise for this small utility. The developers have done an excellent job.
