What is the use of Script Defender?

ohh... I thought we can disable use of unknown/not-installed USB through some registry changes... Or is there any way to do that?

 

disable the auto play for xp home not pro version
For operating systems that do not include Gpedit.msc, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following entry in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutorun
Right-click NoDriveTypeAutoRun, and then click Modify.
In the Value data box, type 0xFF to disable all types of drives. Or, to selectively disable specific drives, use a different value as described in the "How to selectively disable specific Autorun features" section.
Click OK, and then exit Registry Editor.
Restart the computer.

 

I guess this will not disable my already installed USB, only those that are not recognized... Sorry, but I am a little noob at registry things...

 

this will do the job trust me what system do you have?

 

Yes, that's possible, as has been pointed out.

But why disable a perfectly good, useable feature? In my view, that's giving in to the fear of an autorun attack, when simple policies and procedures protect from such an attack.

How about protecting it from AppLocker or SRP Policy...? I mean we can enable these policies to protect ourself from Autorun attacks, i guess.

 

I trust you... I use Win7 32bit (Laptop) and Vista 32bit (Desktop)

Nope just curiosity , Although I have no real knowledge on registry, I thought this should be possible.

Yes possible , see here

or just get PE Guard very handy dandy tool and it protects the usb in real time

 

Yes that's a nice app indeed.

 

and it is very nice light and it protects againts rootkits,if i dont have a licence for mamutu i will for sure use it

 

Can't you keep it with mamutu? It is a BB I think and you can set its alerts to low.

 

i will try to run both again but last time i did PE Guard was alerting first all the time defeating mamutu's purposes i want mamutu to work hard man

 

or even man take a look at this WinPatrol Plus already locks down AutoRun entries, FileType associations and a host of other system configurations. Now, users can pick and choose registry entries they decide should never change.

 

haha.. I also have a license for Mamutu, but often hangs on my system.
