Autorun Eater

Autorun Eater was born due to increase of malwares using the 'autorun.inf' tactic to infect users unknowingly be it from flash drives, removable hard disks or any other removable storage device. When an infected device is infected with a malware and an 'autorun.inf' file is dropped, the shell menu is normally modified to execute the malware whenever the unsuspecting user double-clicks the infected drive.

Most anti-malware apps out there will almost instantly remove any malware detected but more often than not they leave the 'autorun.inf' file behind.

It will remove any suspicious 'autorun.inf' files even before the user attempts to access the drive. These files are auto-backup in case of false positives.

- Scan and remove suspicious "autorun.inf" files found in the root directory of all drives, C-Z, in real-time
- Scan priority(normal/high)
- Scan results are logged
- Add and remove from startup entry
- 3 optional registry fixes (Task Manager, Regedit & Folder options).
- Users are informed whenever a suspicious "autorun.inf" file is detected.
- Backup copies of suspicious "autorun.inf" file(s) are created before the original copy is removed for easy recovery.
- Status tooltip to get tool info easily without right-clicking on tray icon.

Often when you connect an USB flash to your computer you will see an alert from your antivirus software. This prevents programs to start arbitrary because it can damage your computer. But if you are sure that your flash drive is clean of viruses and you want to get rid of this alert, use this tool to disable it and to not see it each time you connect that device to your PC.
