Define Media Autorun enabled

Why would Media Autorun enabled independently?🤔

Hello @Winn,

The Autorun feature built into Windows operating systems is a very useful tool that allows devices to automatically execute a file from media connected to it. For example, software installations can start automatically when a CD is inserted into the optical drive.

Unfortunately, this feature can also be used by threats to automatically launch and infiltrate your device from rewritable media such as USB flash drives and memory cards connected through card readers. Numerous Autorun based attacks have been created in recent years. With USB Immunizer, you can prevent any NTFS, FAT32 or FAT formatted flash drive from automatically executing threats ever again. Once an USB device is immunized, threats can no longer configure it to run a certain app when the device is connected to a device running Windows. 

To prevent your device from launching threats from unimmunized USB devices, disable the media autorun feature.

I hope this information is helpful.

Hi @ylp,

I would advise to keep it enabled, but it all comes down to your preferences.
