False Positives
December 15, 2009 Security softwares like antivirus and antispywares can sometimes be overzealous when it comes to detecting malware. You may sometimes find that after updating to the latest definitions, Autorun Eater is suddenly flagged as a malware! This is not true and there’s nothing to be worried about. It is what you call a false positive detection. More info about false positives and how to determine if a virus is really a virus can be obtained here and here.
We would like to assure all our users that Autorun Eater does NOT contain any malware nor is it a malware itself. If you come across any other false positive problems, please feel free to report it to us or you can help us by reporting the problem to your vendor.

Autorun Eater v2.0
October 8, 2007
Autorun Eater’s main function remains the same but there are a few improvements to the scanning engine as well as some minor changes to the menu options and GUI.
Among the additions and changes are:
Added: 3 optional registry fixes(Task Manager, Regedit & Folder options).
Added: Users are now informed through a message box whenever a suspicious ‘autorun.inf’ file is removed.
Added: Backup copies of suspicious ‘autorun.inf’ file(s) are now created before the original copy is removed for easy recovery.
Added: Status tooltip to get tool info easily without right-clicking on tray icon.
Added: ‘Paused’ notifier that slides in/out from botton-right of screen when ‘Pause’ is activated.
Added: Confirmation message box when user clicks on ‘Delete Log’.
Removed: ‘Keyboard Hotkeys’ label under tray menu options, but ‘Pause’ hotkey still works as usual.
Changed: Improved monitoring engine. Now only certain suspicious ‘autorun.inf’ files are removed depending on a few criterias. CD-ROM drives are now left alone because it is impossible to remove any files on a CD/DVD. So this tool will NOT protect you from malicious CDs/DVDs.
Changed: Added drive label to the scan results log file for easier reference.
Changed: ‘About’ window has evolved from a mundane message box to a cooler GUI window with scrolling credits, haha.
Changed: HTML help file converted to CHM format to include more information and improved readability.
Changed: Certain traytips have been edited for uniformity.
With this newer version, it is expected to perform better with the bugs in Autorun Eater v1.0 eliminated. This version is expected to be more effective and user-friendly.
Screenshots:
Minor changes and additions to the tray menu option
New ‘About’ window
Added mouse over tool-tip to get current tool status quickly
‘Paused’ notifier that slides in/out from botton-right of screen when ‘Pause’ is activated

Autorun Eater v1.0
September 26, 2007As more and more malwares resort to ‘autorun.inf’ file tactics, there has been a need for such a tool, especially for new users. Of course there are other ways to avoid the ‘autorun.inf’ malware trap such as right-clicking-explore, but how many are actually aware of such a method.
Wouldn’t it be better if it was already deleted even before you access the infected drive?
What are some of the features of Autorun Eater?
1. Scan and remove suspicious ‘autorun.inf’ files found in the root directory of drives, A-Z, in real-time
2. Hotkey enabled to toggle scan
3. Start, Stop or Pause scan
4. Scan priority(normal/high)
5. Scan results are logged
6. Add and remove from startup entry
And most importantly, it’s free!

No fancy GUIs but it works!
