Protect Yourself From USB Viruses!

Hi! friends! we all know that it's the easiest to transfer virus from one computer to another. willingly or unwillingly!At lest willingly 4 me! but you can protect yourselves from these threats by taking a simple steps.
First of all:

1. Do you notice the small window that pop ups whenever you insert a USB stick into ur drive? With the options of scanning, playing media and opening the USB etc.
This pop is known as autorun. and it helps me a lot to spread virus.

How does Auto play Works:
If the victim gets this autorun window and the stick is infected with a virus or a keylogger, then they start functioning automatically without the need to click on them. SO u can guess what threat its to you.

How to Stop autorun from being executed:
Now here's the simplest and rarest trick that most people don't know about. Just press and hold SHIFT key when u insert any USB drive, and the autorun will not be executed.

Step 2 to protect yourself:
Whenever you insert a USB drive ALWAYS scan it with a antivirus before opening ! this is a must-do task for all computer users!


Step3:
After disabling autorun and scanning the USB it's always better to Browse To the USB drive rather than to open it by double clicking it!

HOW TO BROWSE:
Go to my-computer, look at the menu bar then click on Folders. And then look at the left side of the screen. and then select ur USB drive from here!
