Previously I had doubts about the effectiveness of this method, because it thinks it's easy for a virus to change, delete and create a new autorun.inf file.
Most of this information I can after reading one blog post WinPowerTips. Indeed, with only create autorun.inf files only, although the hidden attribute system will be easily overcome by the virus. But there is described with three levels and the results are not easy to remove the files and viruses that try to create Autorun.inf file in the normal way will fail.
In the following brief description of three levels (stages) prevents the virus to create / modify the file Autorun.inf:
- Preventing the virus makes autorun.inf file by creating an Autorun.inf folder. Because if this folder already exists then the Autorun.inf file will not be created.
- Preventing virus remove Autorun.inf folder (the usual way) by adding Unicode files in it. This method can actually make the virus an error or shut down if the programmer does not cope well.
- Prevent users Deleting Autorun.inf folder with Folder indelible. Such as Microsoft's own explanation that sometimes we can not delete the file/folder name if the name contains invalid (defective).
Nevertheless with 3 levels and even then, if the virus (the virus) jelly then the virus could still handle it and still be able to make an Autorun.inf file to infect him.
Super Autorun
The blog provided vbs files (visual basic script), to create Autorun.inf folders and folders that do not [easily] erased (stages 1 and 3) for phase 2 (make file unicode) we have to make your own.
After reading the article, I tried googling further information (details) about this, and finally I tried (inspired) to create a simple, small and easy to use anyone in this regard. The result? Super Autorun.
The file size is only about 24 KB, no need to install. As the name implies, aims to create a folder/file specifically, to prevent viruses (easily) create, modify or delete the Autorun.inf file. This file uses special techniques, so it is not easy to erase, rename or modified by a virus. For unicode file creation, not included in this program.
Uses Super Autorun
The program is very easy to use, just run the file, then select the drive that will be targeted or choose "Select all drives" to select all the drives, and then click Create Autorun.inf, If there is already a file/folder Autorun.inf then the program will try immediately delete, and create new ones. If it is successful, please try to delete, rename, edit, open the folder in any way.
So basically, this program will create a folder Autorun.inf is not easily removed, renamed or modified, so that viruses or other programs can not create Autorun.inf file.
In order to succeed, the drive or the flash to be made must be of type NTFS. For flash, because the default Windows Explorer does not have a menu to format NTFS, can read my previous article: Tips on formatting the Flashdisk with NTFS File system.
Download Super Autorun (24 KB)
Note: This technique is not to prevent the virus from duplicating themselves into flashdisk, just to prevent virus build an Autorun.inf file, so it does not spread to computers without our knowledge. Maybe the future can be discussed thoroughly by incorporating protection making of dummy files protected with Super Autorun to protect the flashdisk. If forced to delete autorun.inf folder, can use Unlocker software
If there is input and suggestions about this program please email or write comments.
