How to protect your computer from usb/flash drives viruses

There are many ways to protect your computer against usb/flash viruses.

1.Don’t use usb/flash drives

If you will not use any usb/flash drive then there is no chance you will get usb/flash drive viruses.

2.Turn of auto play

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System
