Hi Hieu,

I did only mention only autorun.inf but, in general since the file
permission only allows read & execute access, viruses which infect exe
files or make folders hidden & create a virus copy with same name with
folder icon, will also be deterred. The only folder where you give
full control to Everyone user needs to be monitored for such a
infection, rest all files are protected.

Regards,
