The increase of malwares using the ‘autorun.inf’ tactic to infect users unknowingly is rising day by day. These are spread from flash drives, removable hard disks or any other removable storage device.

When an infected device is infected with a malware and an ‘autorun.inf’ file is dropped, the shell menu is normally modified to execute the malware whenever the user double-clicks the infected drive.
