noknojon Posted November 15, 2010 ID:345471 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Many computers already have this as installed - It just means your CD player recognises the CD and starts it -Just do not use the registry cleaner section of the program - Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haider Posted November 15, 2010 ID:345538 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hello mbam daz.Microsoft recommends autorun should be disabled on all drives. For more information please read MS-KB967715 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSnakeKobra Posted November 15, 2010 ID:345658 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hi mbam daz.CD Autorun is just a convenient tool under tweek now that blocks cd/dvd's from automatically running once inserted. You can also turn it off under control panel AutoPlay. Worms like Conficker or other malware often use autorun to infect other computers by usage of media(flash drives, cd's etc).
