Hello everybody ..i hope all of u are in good health and i expect the same from ur pc's.If certainly  it is not the case then karths is always there to help u out GET SET GO ....
The recent trend of virus replications  is through an USB drive ,the dangerous part of it is that the viruses get automatically gets kickstarted upon insertion.So today I present u with some tips to protect ur pcs,laptops atleast to some extent by disabling auto-play feature.. to do this follow these steps

1.Click the Start button, then Run and enter “gpedit.msc”(my fav troubleshooting tool) without the quotes
2.Go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System
3.Scroll down to “Turn off Autoplay” and double click on it
4.Click on the “Enabled” radio button, then for “Turn off Autoplay on” select “All drives”

This will now prevent any virus from auto executing itself through a USB drive.
