Hi

Open the command prompt

Start Menu-> run-> type 'cmd' in the run box

Navigate to the Pen drive. For example, if it is drive G, then in the command prompt, type
G: and hit enter.

Now, you are in the pendrive in CMD

Type

attrib -s -h -a -r *

Once Done
You will have autorun.inf which you need to delete

the problem is that we have a lot of pen drive, portable external harddisk using in the office..

is there 1 Microsoft patch to solve this issue once and for all... to prevent the autorun to activate?

Hi 

You may need to use proper Antivirus.
