how to stop or prevent autorun viruses

This video tutorial will teach you how to stop most autorun viruses by turning off the autoplay feature in your computer.

Requirements:
Windows XP Professional. (used in this video)
Windows 2000
Windows Vista
Windows Media Center Edition

Note: I haven't tried this on other version of Windows except Windows XP Pro.

Steps:
#1: Click start.

#2: Click run. (run dialog box appears)...(you can press windows+r on your keyboard)

#3: Type in GPEDIT.MSC, then hit OK (Group policy editor appears.)

#4: On the left pane, click ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES

#5: then click SYSTEM

#6: on the right pane, look for TURN OFF AUTOPLAY then right click on it.

#7: choose PROPERTIES (Turn off autoplay properties appears)

#8: Choose Enabled.

#9: and on Turn off Autoplay drop down menu, you can select what you want. For me i want to stop the autoplay feature on all my drives. So i choose all drives.

#10: click APPLY and hit OK. That's it.

I hope you enjoy this short video tutorial, and i hope this will help you stop autorun viruses.

I apologize for my bad English on the video. This is my first video tutorial, please bear with me.

I'm sorry i never tried it in windows Vista. My appologies, this guide was meant for windows xp professional users only. Home user doesn't have gpedit as well.

Hello friend. I'm sorry. XP Home Edition doesn't have a Group Policy Editor.

Are you an XP Home user?
