Prevent virus spread via Flash Disk / Pen drive

With the use of flash is that it is common everywhere, becoming one of the reasons the proliferation of viruses, especially the local virus. This is seen since the heyday Brontok virus. Until today, I often see nearly every computer / laptop in the office friends affected by the virus, which sometimes they do not realize. In addition to constantly updated antivirus should at least once a week, there are actually very useful tips to prevent infectious virus from media such as flash without us realizing it. Here are the steps:

   1. Open the Registry Editor, by clicking Start Menu> Run and type regedit and click OK
   2. Search Location: KEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer
   3. Create a new key (Right click> New> DWORD Value) give name: NoDriveAutoRun
   4. Double-click to fill the value (data). Select Base: Decimal Value data and input the value 67108863
   5. If necessary, can also add the same value in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer
   6. Computer Restart

With the addition of these settings, so when we install flash, windows will not automatically run the autorun program in flash. For more details, these articles can be searched / read in the tutorial Windows Registry Guides.

Settings:
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer]
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer]
Name: NoDriveAutoRun
Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value: 32-bit bitmask
