Prevent virus spread through flash

Common use of flashdisk is everywhere, be one reason for the proliferation of viruses, especially the local virus. This is seen since its heyday eagle virus. Until recently, I often see nearly every computer / laptop in the office friends exposed to the virus, which sometimes they do not realize. Besides Antivirus which should always be updated at least once a week, there are actually very useful tips to prevent infectious virus from the media such as flash without us knowing it. Here are the steps:

1. Open the Registry Editor, by clicking Start Menu> Run and type regedit and click OK

2. Find Location
KEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer

3. Create a new key (Right click> New> DWORD Value) give name: NoDriveAutoRun

4. Double-click to fill the value (data). Select Base: Decimal Value data and fill with value 67108863

5. If necessary, can also add the same value in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer

6. Restart Computer

With the addition of these settings, then when we install flash, windows will not automatically run the autorun program on the flash. For clarity, this article can be searched / read in the Windows Registry Tutorial Guides. Free Download Windows Registry Tutorial Guides.
