Disable autorun option for PC

Asked By max torgersen 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/25/2011

Hi There!

Recently I install my Windows XP only for Autorun virus. I have been attacked by Autorun virus in many times.

I know if the computer Autorun option is disabled, so Autorun virus cannot enter into the computer.

But I don't know how to disable it?

Please tell me with good answers.
