Both the AutoPlay and AutoRun features, available since Windows XP, are vulnerable areas commonly exploited as a spreading mechanism by some malware to target unprotected computers. The AutoRun function allows some programs to start automatically when a device such as a USB storage tool, CD, memory card, etc is inserted into a computer while AutoPlay is a Windows feature which will examine newly discovered removable media and devices and, based on content such as pictures, music or video files, allow users to select which program to run.
