Disable the Autoplay feature of USB drives

'Hey I never explore(open) that Flash Drive I just mounted it when I came to know about the virus it holds in it than how come my PC got infected'. :-P
But who know about the executable Infection which starts their action as soon as they are mounted. They dont need to be executed. They are executed Automatically. But if you disable the Autoplay feature of USB drives, then there are lesser chances of the virus spreading.
A tool which can perform such a function is TWEAK UI. Download it from here and install it.

Run the program. Now you can disable the Autoplay feature of the removable drives as shown above. By following the above steps, you can keep your USB drives clean. If there are any other methods which you use, then share it with me through comments.
