So called autorun viruses were developed to infect external devices, such as infecting a victims PC while opening a flash drive in Windows Explorer. An autorun viruse exploits the Autorun.inf file in the Windows OS which is used to launch and auto play programs and files that are stored in removable disks such as Memory sticks, DVDs, CD ROMs, USB Devices and much more. The autorun virus uses this feature to destroy files.

If your USB Drive is infected with autorun.inf virus, whenever you insert the USB stick virus files start to execute and infect your PC, it further replicates itself onto the PC by creating a number of copies of autorun.inf and .exe files on all drives of your PC.

If infected, the malwarecovertly directs the user to malicious websites. It might also install a key logger on to your PC that can capture your web site activity, login credentials usernames, passwords, account numbers, credit card details and other personal and sensitive information.

An autorun virus must be removed from a PC for it to be safe to use.
