For disabling the “AutoPlay”, on Windows XP, a pop-up could ask you whether open the media instantly or not. You just say no to it or close the pop-up. On Windows 7 or Window Vista, go to “Start”, type “autoplay”, press “Enter”, then uncheck “Use Autoplay for all media and devices”. The next step is launching virus fighters and scanning the media. After the process, you can copy files from the media to your local hard drive.
