[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 666212, member: 32260"] Thanks for your help and support. I decided to remove <No Removable Disks Exec> option in the next Hard_Configurator version: 1. This Windows feature can cause very unpleasant side effects, when Windows OS recognizes fixed hard disk as removable (especially when it is a system disk). 2. <Recommended SRP> option also blocks execution from removable media via default deny SRP. 3. Even without active SRP, Windows OS (from Vista + SP2) disables AutoRun feature, so the danger of malware infection via autorun.inf commans is very low. Users can still be infected, when pressing the optical drive icon (when using an infected optical disc), but not when pressing the icon of pendrive or USB disk. [/QUOTE]
