Virus from USB and CD , DVD

 The reason the virus can be transmitted via USB or CD / DVD is because they copy themselves onto USB or create an Autorun.inf file to activate the Autoplay feature of the drive. Every time you click to open the USB key, you will accidentally run the virus hiding inside the device. This also happened the same with the AutoPlay function of your CD / DVD drive.
To disable the AutoRun and AutoPlay, you do the following:

1. Using the Control Panel
AutoPlay on the following path: Control Panel> AutoPlay.lay.
Close “Use AutoPlay for all media and devices” and click Save:
2. Using the Group Policy Editor
Press the Windows key + R, type “gpedit.msc” and press Enter.
In the Local Group Policy Editor window, locate the following path: “Computer Configuration> Administrative Templates> Windows Components> AutoPlay Policies.”
Right-click “Turn off Autoplay”, click Edit.
Click select Enabled in windows Turn off AutoPlay.
3. Disable Autorun.inf file
Press “Windows + R”, type regedit, and press Enter
In the Registry Editor, locate the following path:
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionIniFileMapping”
