Autorun Eater 2.5 - Scan and Remove Suspicious 'autorun.inf' Files Automatically!

Autorun Eater was born due to the increase of malwares using the ‘autorun.inf’ method to infect users unknowingly be it from flash drives, removable hard disks or any other removable storage device. When a 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 accesses the infected drive.
Autorun Eater will warn you and remove any suspicious ‘autorun.inf’ files(based on user decision/settings) so that the malware is not executed while accessing the infected drive. There are also certain cases whereby the malware has been removed by an antivirus but the ‘autorun.inf’ file remains. This will cause the drive to be inaccessible through the conventional method(double-click). Autorun Eater will also remove it if necessary so that you can access the drive as usual.

Autorun Eater 2.5 Features:

  • Prevent malware infection through removable storage devices(pendrives, portable hard disk, etc)
  • Backup copies of suspicious "autorun.inf" file(s) are created before the original copy is removed for easy recovery.
  • Manually scan drives A: and B: if you have access to either one or both(eg. Floppy)
  • 3 optional registry fixes (Task Manager, Regedit & Folder options).
  • Status tooltip to get tool info easily without right-clicking on tray icon.
