Smart Autorun Cleaner

Without denying that the auto-run function comes with manifold benefits, unfortunately, the features have also been a preferred target of virus attacks. Perhaps it is because of the ease of replacing it, but it only needs you to insert the device in order to run and execute a malicious script.

Smart Autorun Cleaner is a tool dedicated to removing this type of threats and protecting your system against all potential suspicious scripts that take advantage of the Autorun.inf vulnerability.

The installation is a quick and uneventful process that does not take too much of your time. The program comes with a rather rugged interface that displays the main function, namely scanning the drives. You can view the drives in the dedicated box in the UI and select the ones that you suspect may include malware.

The idea behind the application is to scan the volumes and determine whether they include hidden files and folders that are associated with malware. The tool specifically targets the viruses that take advantage of the Autorun.inf vulnerability.

Depending on the types of USB compatible devices you are using, you can configure the application to start with Windows and minimized to Tray to avoid potential infections. At the same time, you can specify if you prefer the tool to clean everything automatically or allow you to decide what to keep.

A further useful feature is an auto-detect USB when it is plugged into the computer, as you can set the program to perform a quick silent scan and determine if the Autorun.inf is clean.

In the eventuality that you are using various USB devices, including older ones that you are unsure what they contain, then perhaps Smart Autorun Cleaner can help protect your computer from a potentially devastating malware infection.
