Are Shortcut (.lnk) and Autorun Malware the same things?
They are a bit related. So it is obvious to get confused.
Shortcut files are .lnk files. Every application you install will create a shortcut on your desktop. Sometimes because of virus activity unwanted shortcut files are created and they keep consuming the memory space and affect the processing speed. That’s why it becomes necessary to remove such unwanted .lnk files. on the contrary the Autorun file helps to launch the program present in the USB device.
What is Autorun file?
Whenever you connect a USB/ pen drive, you receive a pop-up on your screen asking if you want to open the folder. That happens because of Autorun function of the USB/pen drive.
This function, the Autorun file can be used for wrong purposes. That means as soon as you connect the USB it will spread the malware in your computer. This file launches itself automatically; hence it is named as Autorun.
How WardWiz Protect the Autorun file?
USB vaccinator replaces the Autorun file which is already present in the USB with a new or fresh Autorun file irrespective of whether it was previously infected or not.
So in short, it minimizes the chances of spreading of malicious Autorun file. We call this procedure as USB vaccination.
