Hello,

Try this 1

1) First disable the "Autoplay" feature in Windows OS.

Click on the below hyperlink "Disable Autoplay" and download the file.

Double-click on it and follow the instructions.

2) 2) Disable the "Autorun.inf". Click on the below link and follow the

instructions. First backup your registry.

Click on Start --> In search box, type regedt32 and press Enter.

"Registry Editor" will be opened.

Now backup your registry by going to "File --> Export" --> Save the

file with any name in your desired location.

Copy the text starting from "REGEDIT4" upto ="@SYS:DoesNotExist"

REGEDIT4                  
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf]                  
@="@SYS:DoesNotExist"  


Open a "Notepad" --> Paste it --> Save the file as fix.reg.

Note: Don't forget the extension "reg"

Now double-click on the fix.reg file and then click on "Yes" to merge

it.

[Note : After following the above instructions, whenever you place any

autoplay CD\DVD all you have to do is go to "My Computer" -->

Open the CD\DVD drive --> You have to double-click on the setup

file.]

3) Click on the below link and download the file "AutorunExterminator"
