Title: Can someone just tell me this , please?
Post by: Velen on August 03, 2010, 01:38:56 PM
I have three files named "autorun" on the first ISO.dmg. I need to know if these are viruses, so that I don't end up unleashing it on the only Virtual Machine I have.

They are named:

autorun.inf
autorun.exe
autorun.apm

I need to know because my computer currently isn't equipped with any anti-virus software, and I don't have the money currently to get any such software. So I have to be very cautious due to my Window 7 VM being extremely vulnerable to viruses without an anti-virus program.

So are those three files virus-related or not?

I've never heard of an ISO.dmg file...
the autorun files are usually something you'd find on a disk... :/

Just delete those files using the mac part and then use the other files in your VM.

Also Linux can run Windows using similar software.
