AutoRun Hampered By Motorola
Written by Alan Friday, 4 March 2011 08:00
The AutoRun feature of Windows has endlessly been a problem for users and a target for hackers. Problems range from interference from third-party programs to victimization by viruses placed on USB drives. But a new problem has shown up in recent times and it afflicts users of Motorola phones and devices. The problem is that the AutoRun box pops up as normal, but disappears almost instantly. This prevents users from clicking their choice and forces the device to default. Of course that’s only a problem if you want to deviate from the default choice, but many people do. Lots of devices use the AutoRun feature – such things as digital cameras are used every day by people who have varying choices of what they want to happen when they plug their camera into their PC.
Currently the only known cure for the problem is to remove the program MotoHelper, which you can find in the Uninstall Programs section of Windows Control Panel. It’s an epic fail for Motorola. The issue has been known for sometime now, so the fact that no fix has been issued in really unacceptable.
