Microsoft Recommends Disabling AutoRun feature

Excerpt from Microsoft Technet

Microsoft is announcing the availability of updates to the Autorun feature that help to restrict AutoPlay functionality to only CD and DVD media on supported editions of Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. Restricting AutoPlay functionality to only CD and DVD media can help protect customers from attack vectors that involve the execution of arbitrary code by Autorun when inserting a USB flash drive, network shares, or other non-CD and non-DVD media containing a file system with an Autorun.inf file.

So fellow Windows users. What are you waiting for, disable your autorun now to prevent being infected by pest virus coming from removable devices.

This is a wise reminder from your RRAV Team.
