ArpanTECHiKill - Prevents Spread of Viruses
Version : 1.2
Build : 69
Build Date : 4 September 2008
Minimum Requirements:
1) OS - Windows [98, 2K, XP, Server 2003, Vista...].
2) Processor 400MHz+
3) Ram - 96 MB
4) Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (See download link below)
IF using Windows XP or below.
Installation:
Before installing make sure you have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 .
Icons will be automatically added to the desktop and the start menu.
Working:
- It works by scanning the drives for the presence of removable drives.
- If found, it parses the autorun.inf file for the executables it may run.
- If AutoProtect is enabled, it will automatically delete the files present on the drive.
otherwise, you will be asked if you want the suspected files deleted.
In general a USB drive of any kind, a pendrive, ipod, mp3 Players, mobile phones, all
may contain viruses, they just act as carriers, the viruses/trojans exploit the autorun.inf file
to execute themselves whenever you try to open the drive by double clicking. They even may
shadow the Open, Explore, Search, etc, other features using the shell commands.. like..
shell\Explore\command = virus.exe
Here, when you right click on the drive icon and click on Explore, virus.exe would be launched,
infecting the whole system, and then it will start spreading by any means possible...
- So, the program parses the autorun.inf for you and deletes the virus/trojans.
There is no use of the autorun.inf in you removable drive. (It is rarely used by some applications to
provide some added functionality, like the Wireless Config tool to help setup a home network.
But, the applications are limited.) , you can safely delete it.
The file is a zipped (Compressed archive) (.zip).
