Blocking threats from USB storage device

[Guest zhengshareware]

USB storage devices have gained popularity nowadays. However, they are

always host to viruses, Trojans, hacker toolkits, worms and other

kinds of malicious programs. For example, when you plug your USB disk

into a computer that is infected by viruses, these viruses will enter

into your USB disk by creating a file named AUTORUN.INF and malicious

programs on the disk. After that, when you use the USB disk in another

computer, the one will be at risk. Threats from USB storage devices to

computers have been a huge security risk for businesses and

individuals. So, how should we protect against threats from USB

storage devices? Well, here are some suggestions.

1. Disable AUTORUN in the registry and remove the AUTORUN.INF file

manually. The AUTORUN.INF file is a text file located in the root

directory. It enables malicious programs to automatically run when the

USB storage device is plugged into a computer. Therefore, many

instructions online suggest you to disable AUTORUN in the registry and

delete the AUTORUN.INF file and the malicious programs manually. But

we are not familiar with the registry and AUTORUN files.

2. Scan the removable storage media by certain antivirus software

whenever it is plugged into a computer. However, antivirus software is

always based on the database of signature and can't find new malicious

programs. What is more, scanning USB disk is time consuming.

3. Choose the software Removable Storage Guard to help you turn the

AUTORUN off and remove all the threats from your USB storage device

quickly and exactly by its new technology. You needn't worry about
