Odds are that any Windows computer will be susceptible to at least one of the tricks.
My first posting on this topic has a sample autorun.inf file that safely illustrates three of these tricks, and you can download this file to test how well your PC is defended from inadvertently running software off the flash drive. My first posting on the topic of Autorun/Autoplay, Test your defenses against malicious USB flash drives, described three ways that bad guys trick people into running malicious software that resides on an infected USB flash drive.Īlthough, at times, flash drive resident software can run by itself (think U3 flash drives) without any action on the part of the computer user (other than inserting the USB flash drive) the more normal case is that a person has to be tricked.
