Safe Autorun

Safe Autorun is a handy security tool specifically designed to protect your USB removable drives from the autorun virus. This infection is known to automatically create the autorun.inf file, which it then uses to transfer malicious files on the host computer.

The purpose of Safe Autorun is to protect your USB drive by creating an 'autorun.inf' file that the virus might not be able to replace. Delivered inside a lightweight package, the application does not require installation and is very easy to use.

Its simple interface consists of a single window that bundles all the options, displaying a complete list of the detected drives, be it local, CD / DVD-ROM or removable devices that are connected to the computer via a USB hub. You can refresh the list to show newly connected devices instead of closing and opening the application again.

What Safe Autorun actually does is create the 'autorun.inf' file on the target drive, blocking virus attempts to create its own file that can be exploited. The process does not take a long time and you might have to configure your PC to show the hidden items so as to view the created file.

Alternatively, you can also use this application to wipe off autorun.inf from your removable device. This comes in handy in situations when your USB stick is has already been infected by the virus and you want to counter-attack its actions.

Designed to fight against all threats that spread via USB drives, Safe Autorun can help you create or permanently remove the 'autorun.inf' file. It is a useful security tool that can block autorun infections that usually affect USB devices, but note that it cannot be used as a permanent protection solution for your computer.
