Lately, I was told by my friend how to do that, so when our external drive like flashdisk or external HD is plugged into USB or E-sata ports with infected computer, that virus can’t duplicate itself into external drives.
- Make a new folder into your external drive
- Name it with autorun.inf
Now, let’s see if the virus can infect your external drive or not. So, my friend do an experiment about that. He now make new text document, and make sure first that you “uncheck hide extensions for know file types” in folder option -> view.
Then, rename it with autorun.inf and try to click enter. This is going to happen if you try to click enter/ make it. So, I can make conclusion like this, if a virus try to infect your external drive/ USB flashdisk, it will not happen, because there is another file that already used that name, a file folder with autorun.inf name.
Want to try? Except the virus can generate another file name than autorun.inf, but I think no virus maker never think like that, or am I wrong?
