You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I’m telling you why. Microsoft is getting serious against malware attacks and it seems like it’s cracked the code on how to prevent malware from corrupting files.

Windows AutoRun updates have been given to Vista and XP SP3 in February and boy, what a difference these updates make. When you put your USB flash drive into your computer, you sometimes get that popup that reads “Autoplay.” Well, these updates, as well as in Windows 7, disables that function and the number of incidents of viruses spreading through this method has gone drastically.

Not too shabby, Microsoft. Now you need to figure out a way to get past Apple…
