The easiest way to avoid virus without AntiVirus on Windows (Part 2)

Second Lesson :

On lesson 1 we studied how to block virus spread with limited user account. There are another way to avoid virus , as we know that windows is user friendly. They (microsoft) makes windows easy to use. Example without open or click on external drive the program inside of external drive (flash disk, external drive, memory card, etc). Very easy to use, so just plug the external drive and automatically run.
In other side consequences of user friendly become virus friendly too :-D, Can you imagine if the inside of flash disk is virus ? :d, so virus become automatically run too.
To avoid automatically run, we can do this techniques.

Click Start -> Run -> type gpedit.msc


Click "User Configuration" -> Administrative Template -> System
And then click on Right side double click on "Turn off Autoplay"



After we do this trick windows will not execute inside of flash disk automatically.

Cheers,
