This is official description
Autorun Eater is small but powerful program designed specially to analyze autostart files that can be found on CDs/DVDs, pendrives, etc., and eliminate them if they are found suspicious. Most anti-virus programs do not help you remove the 'autorun.inf' files after they clean up the malware. AutoRun Eater will run in background mode from your system tray and the application will scan your drives, and tell you when it finds a suspicious entry.
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 2.3
If you are protected with a good antivirus and antispyware, you could think that you have all necessary tools to destroy those annoying and terrible virus that threat your system performance. But, maybe one thing you don't know is that, a lot of these threats use a typical file called "autorun.inf" to execute themselves, and that's when Autorun Eater will become in a special utility, because the application will scan your drives, and tell you when it finds a suspicious entry. I mean, Autorun Eater is small but powerful program designed specially to analyze autostart files that can be found on CDs/DVDs, pendrives, etc., and eliminate them if they are found suspicious.
But why does Autorun Eater delete those 'autorun.inf' files? 'autorun.inf' files are usually created by malwares (not always). When you make a traditional double click to access to an infected drive, the 'autorun.inf' file executes the malware and your system gets infected. Most anti-virus programs do not help you remove the 'autorun.inf' files after they clean up the malware. AutoRun Eater will run in background mode from your system tray. You can access to its options by a context menu when you make a right click on the system tray icon. |
