Media autorun enables, Bitdefender wants to fix it but fix isn't permanent. Why?

iwood

Every day or so I get an amber vulnerability message that media autorun is enabled and that this is not desirable. So I press fix and it gets disabled. The fix seems to only last until the PC is powered off.

What is the point of offering a fix if it has to be done every time I power up the PC? Windows 10 Toshiba laptop with all Microsoft updates installed.

Is it such a big deal having media autorun on a personal laptop where I only install and uninstall my own USB sticks or insert/run/eject my own CD's/DVD's or those purchased from a reputable music/video retailer?

Hello @iwood,

Are you referring to USB/CD's/DVD's? Because the autoscan setting can be disabled, if you are sure the content is trustworthy.

I guess, the OP was refering to this:

He was talking about the media AUTORUN vulnerability, not the media Autoscan for malware.

That makes much more sense now @Gjoksi. 👍️
