Disable USB autorun for complete virus protection

Always disable USB autorun- Complete virus protection:

I know its bit difficult to protect your PC safe from viruses and trojans. We cannot keep our USB safe and clean. Expecially in our colleges we guys exchange USB sticks constantly. I can say USB is the direct source of getting virus into our system directly. Most of the viruses that multiply through USB sticks use the autorun function of USB. Virus enters into our system as we keep USB and runs secretly in the background, unlike a CD or DVD.
