Eight Applications to protect you from Autorun.inf viruses
Last week we covered 5 Websites to Scan for Viruses Online. This week we continue the fight against viruses with ten pieces of completely free software that will help protect you from autorun.inf viruses.
The autorun.inf file is used to automatically launch applications on CDs / DVDs / Flash drives etc. This becomes really useful when you want to display a menu that allows the user to view the contents of the CD or to start presentations and so on.
However, over the last two years the autorun.inf file has been used by viruses and worms to automatically launch themselves and thus effect computers. These viruses are all from less harmful blocking of sites (like the popular Orkut virus) to wrecking total havoc on your system requiring a complete reinstall of the operating system.
Since then, antivirus software have become smarter at detecting and removing these viruses and worms. In addition to this, you have a complete dedicated set of applications that help you protect your computer from autorun.inf viruses.
Without further ado, here’s a list of some of them.

5 Websites to Scan for Viruses Online
When it comes to security I prefer a reliable anti-virus that can minimize the risk of an infection and protect your PC from any harm. A good way to do is by scanning your computer for viruses online. Advantage of scanning these files online is that the engine used by the scanner is usally up to date and the risk of a virus infection of the virus scanner is not present. You can use the following websites to find out if your PC is infected.

BitDefender is a well known scanner which features Virus scanning and removed along with scheduled scanning, immediate scanning, skingable interface, Quarantine and reports.
BitDefender Online Scanner is an on-demand virus scanner which incorporates the award-winning BitDefender scanning engines. You can use it to scan your system’s memory, all files and drives’ boot sectors, and to automatically clean infected files.

Kaspersky is one of my favorite Anti-virus programs which has proven expertise in protecting against viruses, Internet worms, email worms, Trojans and other malicious programs. It has the highest virus and spyware detection rates. It features accurate and thorough antivirus scanning , easy installation and configuration.

It automatically downloads the necessary components and virus definition databases as it is started. It supports operating systems like Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows XP Home Edition and Professional 32-bit and Windows 2000 SP 4 and unfortunately it only works with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or plus and you need to have ActiveX enabled.
4. Windows Live Oncare online scanner
Windows Live Oncare online scanner checks your viruses in your computer. More importantly, it also helps you remove all of them. It helps you get rid of junk on your hard disk and improves your Pc’s performance.

Remove AVG completely from your Computer
There was a time I swore by AVG as an antivirus. Though I have Nod32 installed on my laptop, I installed AVG on any and every computer I came across.
Sadly, v8 is a total mess and I quickly switched over to Avast which is really excellent.
The problem with almost every antivirus is that it leaves behind files on your computer. These files may interfere with the new antivirus program you are uninstalling.
Fortunately, AVG provides you a remover utility that will cleanly remove itself from your computer.
AVG Remover utility removes all parts of AVG installation on your computer, including registry items, installation and user files on your disk, etc. AVG Remover is the least option to be used in case the AVG uninstallation / repair installation process has failed repeatedly.
All AVG user settings will be removed after the uninstallation, as well as the Virus Vault content and other item related to AVG installation and use.
Have you used this?
Download AVG Remover
- AVG Remover(32bit)
- AVG Remover(64bit)
