A followup question I have is this:
When all is said and done how much will autorun.inf cost humanity ? Seriously. Is it in the hundreds of billions ?
We're almost 20 years into the lifespan of that file and it's still making front page mainstream news.
A: Wrong. There are several other spreading mechanisms USB worms use. The LNK vulnerability used by Stuxnet would infect you even if AutoRun and AutoPlay were disabled.
