What is Autorun Eater?

Autorun Eater is a lightweight, open source utility program designed to provide protection against autorun malware infections from removable drives such as USB flash drives. It works by blocking autorun attempts from removable media and notifying the user of any suspicious autorun activity.

When a removable drive such as a USB stick is inserted into your computer, Autorun Eater will scan it for autorun files that could launch malware. If any suspicious autorun files are detected, Autorun Eater will block the autorun attempt and alert you with a warning so you can take appropriate action.

As an open source program, Autorun Eater provides a free malware protection solution for Windows users concerned about infecting their computers via USB drives or other removable media. It runs silently in the background with minimal resource usage, requiring no configuration while still providing an extra layer of security against difficult to detect threats trying to abuse the autorun feature in Windows.

With its focused functionality aimed squarely at blocking autorun malware, Autorun Eater makes a good complementary addition to your antivirus software. It helps cover any gaps in your existing defenses when it comes to guarding against malware propagation through removable drives.
