Avoiding Virus Infection From Usb Flash Disk

One of the media to transfer the virus to a computer or Laptop is the USB Flash Disk. Therefore, We should be careful if you want to transfer data from the Flash Disk.

At the moment we want to plugin a USB FlashDisk, just before entering the USB FlashDisk into the USB port, press the SHIFT key, and enter the USB FlashDisk while pressing the shift key for 8-10 seconds.
If the system installs the drivers for USB FlashDisk, press and hold on the SHIFT Key until the installation is completed (usually the baloon popup will be appeared). Pressing or holding on the SHIFT Key on a old computer will take a longer time. Usually in the Windows XP The Dialog Box will be appeared, which gives information about the features of a FilterKey. Do not worry this is an accessibility feature. We can disable this feature via Control Panel> Accessibility Options.


This technique actually is to disable the autorun.inf feature which usually found in the CD presentation, company profile or CD of driver installation software. And this feature is typically used by virus makers to transfer the virus into the computer system. Try and prove it, insert the CD presentation or CD driver installer by pressing simultaneously the SHIFT Key for a few seconds (usually untill the sound round of CD Drive stopped) and The presentation flash screen will be not appeared.

Good Luck.
