How to Disable Autorun CD/DVD or USB drive

Today I will tell you That How to Disable Autorun CD/DVD or USB drive.   Well, this is one of my most recommended and favourite computer tricks. What this little trick does is, it simply makes you to disable Autorun of any removable drives such as cd, dvd, Pen drives etc.



     You may have noticed frequently that, when ever you connect your USB into the Usb port or when you put in a cd or DVD into the cd/Dvd rom drive, Auto play option automatically gets executed.

It is very unsafe to allow any drive autoplay on its own, particularly Usb drives. Because, along with Autorun files, USB drives containing virus also gets executed resulting your computer affected by virus or Trojan horses.



So this trick goes this way.

Disable CD Autorun

1) Click Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC
2) Go to Computer Configuration, then-> Administrative Templates,

---> System.
3) Set the entry for Turn autoplay off. Double click on it

4) Click on Enable.

5) Select All Drives to disable all drives including Usb drives or only Cd Rom drive.

6) Now click on apply.

How to Test the Working of your Antivirus

Most of us always think about the best antivirus for our computer. But sometimes the antivirus might not be working well or correctly. Sometimes you wan to check the working of your antivirus but the query is how to check whether the antivirus is working correctly or not. Today I am going to tell you about a small check which can be used by users to check the working of your antivrus program. The check is called as EICAR check which can be used to check any antivirus and was developed by European Institute of Computer Antivirus Research (EICAR). So now you don't require a computer virus to check the working of your antivirus you can simple do so by following the steps given below.
1. First of all open a notepad and copy the following code into the notepad and save it as       
    anything.txt.
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
2. Rename the file from New Text Document.TXT to myfile.com
3. Now run the antivirus scan on this myfile.com file.


If the antivirus is working correctly then it ought to give a warning or alert and delete the file immediately. If no such warning or alert message is displayed then you either need to re-install your antivirus or modify the antivirus. Important thing to note here is that most of the antivirus will display a warning message in step one itself and will remove the file.

I hope you enjoyed this tricks .
