Inside Core Bringing World To The Future

As has happened many problems with virus from pen drive, I developed a small software that monitors all logical drives (from C: to Z:) looking for the file "autorun.inf". If it finds a file with this name in the root of any drive, will exclude him. The software will have no problems with the autorun of CD/DVD (autoruns generally reliable) because there is no way to delete files of this type of media.

When executed, the AutoRunExterminator appears in the System Tray (near the Windows clock). This means that it is open and monitoring. I recommend that you place a shortcut to the program in the "Startup" on the Start menu to start it with Windows.

For other resources of the software, see the information of updates below ("Updated in").

The software was tested successfully on Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 7.

Prerequisite: Microsoft. Net Framework 2.0.

Current Version: 1.6 Beta (20/march/2009).
