Did any one notice that , i receive alot of usb drives from friends that contain the auto run virus , kaspersky 2009 used to just delete them in under 10 sec, the new kaspersky program 2010 takes time to scan all the computer ( i think ) before removing the auto run virus , any work around ?
-
What about scanning the whole computer once?
Have you done this once? May be the cause.
On 7 and 2009 that sped up a lot of things including updates - not sure about virus removal. -
Turn off autorun for external drives. Then you don't have to care if they have an autorun virus or not.
See this thread for more info: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=430049
EDIT: I suppose you still want to scan the other files before using them though... so I guess it's probably still an issue. -
@DetlevCM no i didn't scan the computer , ill try that
@swarmer i kinda like the autorun for my clean drives like my external hard and usb flash , mp3 player etc, so if i didn't find a solution for this problem ill use the older version of kaspersky

I can't think of anything that should auto run on an external drive - well, except maybe sometimes he CD drive if you instal lot's of things. -

i c , so i can only disable the .exe from auto running, i think thats a fair solution , ill look for how to disable exe from auto running thanks ALL

@DetlevCM
i like the open folder autorun not the exe i don't install alot of programs. -
In Vista it's under Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > AutoPlay.
The new kaspersky antivirus takes alot of time to remove autorun virus
