Disable autorun feature

  Internet worms are mostly spread through removable devices like CD ROM's, Floppy Drives and Flash Drives. Most of these removable devices have autorun functions in them which maybe a virus or a software that is necessary for you. Turning off autorun feature makes your computer less vulnerable from security threats.
To disable autorun feature Go to Start -> Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC
Go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System.
Locate the entry for "Turn autoplay off" and change it.
