Editor's Opinion
Autorun Eater provides you with an easy and reliable way to protect your computer against malwares that are using the "autorun.inf" file to infect it. Simple and efficient, this practical application is a great tool for any user out there that wants to improve the security of their systems.
Editor's Description
Nowadays, there are many powerful antivirus applications that can help you protect your system against malwares, but, when dealing with removable devices, such as USB sticks, they might not be very efficient against malicious software that use "autorun.inf" tactics. This is where the reliable Autorun Eater steps in to help you out.

Autorun Eater is an easy to use piece of software that will help you successfully protect your computer against malicious attacks that use the "autorun.inf" file found on removable devices (any drive from A to Z). This handy application can prove to be very useful, especially if you usually use USB flash drives and lend them to your friends or coworkers.

Furthermore, using Autorun Eater is extremely easy and doesn't require any computer skills at all. All you have to do is launch the application and it will quietly stay hidden in the system tray, constantly monitoring your drives in real time. If you want to know what happens to the infected "autorun.inf" files, well, they will be instantly deleted (or, as the developer states, eaten by Billy the goat) so that you will have no problem accessing your removable device in the future.

The practical Autorun Eater also allows you to modify several settings like the removal method (with or without asking for confirmation), enable or disable the auto-play, detection and start-up sounds. Another great thing about this easy to use piece of software is the fact that, after removing the infected "autorun.inf" file, it lets you perform a quick malware scan using the powerful Microsoft Security Essentials command line scanner and provides you with detailed logs, based on the result.

Other than that, the simple Autorun Eater can even help you quickly fix any Windows Registry changes made by these malwares. By using this efficient application, you can easily choose to fix the Task Manager, RegEdit or folder options registries with just a few clicks.

Even though there are several techniques to avoid malwares that are using the "autorun.inf" file (like right-clicking on your drive and selecting Explore instead of double-clicking it) they might not come to your mind at that precise time and the fact that Autorun Eater works great with your default antivirus software (it was not created as an antivirus program or any kind of replacement) makes this easy to use piece of software a very useful tool.

To sum it all up, if you are in need of a handy tool that can help you protect your system against malwares that are using the "autorun.inf" file, then you should definitely try the reliable and easy to use Autorun Eater.
