Pen drive ruined by auto run.inf?
Have this ever happened to you. Have you been ever infected by auto run.inf. If your answer is no then you are lucky. Its the most common virus out there.
Infecting every device that you connect your external drive of a pen drive.
When you plug in a pen drive to an infected system the auto run.inf automatically is written to your pen drive. From there it is transferred to every device you plug in your device. You wouldn’t necessarily know if the system to which you are going to plug-in your pen drive is infected or not. So how to fool proof your pen drive from this nasty virus.
Remember this is not a virus removal tool or anything like that. This just shows you the technique to resist getting infected.
Just follow this steps and you will never get auto run.inf virus again.
Have you bought a new pen drive and want to make it safe against auto run,.inf. Here are the steps. The same technique works on hard drives and other external devices like memory cards.
* Create a new folder in pen drive.
* Rename the newly created folder as auto run.inf.
* Right click on the folder and click on properties.
* Mark the folder as read only and save the changes. That is all you need to protect your device from the nasty virus. Technique used here is simple.
Windows wont allow two files with the same name. So when the infected system tries to write auto run.inf onto your device it wont work. As the file has been made read only it cannot be altered by the infected system either. So you are completely protected by the auto run.inf virus.
Your car could be stolen if you don't keep this in mind!
ReplyDeleteConsider that your car was taken! When you approach the police, they inquire about a specific "VIN check"
Describe a VIN decoder.
Similar to a passport, the "VIN decoder" allows you to find out the date of the car's birth and the identity of its "parent" (manufacturing facility). You can also figure out:
1.Type of engine
2.Model of a vehicle
3.The limitations of the DMV
4.The number of drivers in this vehicle
You'll be able to locate the car, and keeping in mind the code ensures your safety. The code can be examined in the online database. The VIN is situated on various parts of the car to make it harder for thieves to steal, such as the first person's seat on the floor, the frame (often in trucks and SUVs), the spar, and other areas.
What happens if the VIN is intentionally harmed?
There are numerous circumstances that can result in VIN damage, but failing to have one will have unpleasant repercussions because it is illegal to intentionally harm a VIN in order to avoid going to jail or being arrested by the police. You could receive a fine of up to 80,000 rubles and spend two years in jail. You might be stopped by an instructor on the road.
Conclusion.
The VIN decoder may help to save your car from theft. But where can you check the car reality? This is why we exist– VIN decoders!
