New AutoRun Worms Utilize Action Key

Security Alerts

Autorun.inf is prevalently used by worms as an autostart technique. Through this file, the worm is able to automatically execute whenever an infected drive is accessed. Over time, users have been able to think of workarounds to manually remove the malware file while preventing it from executing. Some of these are:

  • Using command prompt to manually delete the file
  • Disabling AutoPlay
  • Using Windows Explorer (right-clicking then choosing Explore)
Similarly, malware proponents also continue to find new techniques to proliferate their malicious creations despite workarounds that users employ to prevent them from automatically running on their systems. One way by which this is done is through the use of autorun.inf’s Action Key.
Action Key is one of the parameters in autorun.inf, which is only supported in removable and fixed drives. Its main purpose is to specify the text that appears in the AutoPlay dialog for the handler representing the program specified in the open or shellexecute entry in the media’s autorun.inf file.
