Each CD would likely have an autorun.inf file so the installer would launch as soon as you insert the CD in your computer. The best example would be the installation CDs that come with the programs you purchase. In most cases, they aid non-technical users by automatically launching applications found on external devices like pen drives instead of having them manually navigate important files and folders.
Features like AutoRun are designed to improve the PC experience. Windows launches a file called autorun.inf when external devices (USB, memory card, CDs, DVDs, SD cards) are plugged into the computer. To understand what a shortcut virus is, you need to know what AutoRun does and why it does it. In this article, we’ll show you how you can remove the shortcut virus using the command prompt and safeguard your computer from future attacks. Fortunately, there is a way to disable the feature.
