Hi, I did a little experiment to avoid viruses from infecting my pen drive. Since all viruses that enters the pen drive automatically have this "autorun.inf" file in common, I decided to make an "autorun.inf" file ( which will also display icon to my pendrive) which cannot be overwritten by the "autorun.inf" of viruses. I made the file in my Pen Drive, and gave it Permissions by the Linux program for windows ( since I knew giving file permissions through that software ) . I gave "read" permissions & removed "write" & "execute" permissions from the file. But when I tried overwriting the file with another "autorun.inf" , it happened. :( The file was also getting deleted when I tried. So how can I make an "autorun.inf" which cannot be deleted or overwritten by anyone ?? Please Guide :( ~~Psychedelic~~

Why not just make the file read-only? Or, make sure you only use the drive on machines that are running up-to-date anti-virus program? "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown

Hi Jennifer, I made it a "read-only" file, but still it could be overwritten and deleted. :( Actually most of th time my Bro uses the pen Drive, who is not much sound in these virus things, and ends up infecting it. I myself have up-to-date Antivirus though. :) thanx. :) ~~Psychedelic~~
