Autorun Detector

Autorun Detector is a small-sized and portable software application that can protect your computer from autorun-based attacks to avoid being infected with viruses.

As installation is not a requirement, you can drop the executable file in any location on the hard disk and just click it to run.

It is also possible to save Autorun Detector to a pen drive or similar external device, in order to run it on any computer with minimum effort and no prior installers.

An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows registry does not get updated with new entries, and traces are not left behind on the hard disk after program removal.

The interface is represented by a regular window with a plain and simple structure, where you can select the target drives and ask Autorun Detector to monitor them for the autorun virus. From this point out, you can start the monitoring session and view all events, as well as send the app to the tray area to make it non-intrusive.

You can set Autorun Detector to automatically run at system startup until further notice, log events to file, hide notifications, and disable the animation icon. Settings can be restored to their default values, as well as saved for further sessions.

The app does not put a strain on computer performance, as it uses low CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and works well, without causing the OS to hang, crash or pop up error messages; we have not come across any issues throughout our tests. Autorun Detector serves its purpose and can be used by anyone.
