Well... thats one down

Autorun is still an issue? I thought people learned their lesson like 5 years ago? Apparently not but Microsoft has finally helped us all out by doing its best to disable autorun viruses and malware from working. Now using Micrsoft's Malicious software Removal Tool, ComputerWorld states there has been a "68 percent decline in the amount of incidents reported across all builds of Windows using Microsoft's Malicious Software Remove Tool".

That is pretty impressive.

Of course this does not stop the malware that embeds itself in DLL's or in the registry, but it is helping to rid the 'low hanging fruits' and protect the Janes and Joes of the internet.
