The computer automatically opens some files that may be infected.
Also, due to the fact that Windows 7 autorun has accumulated a large number of programs that will be launched when the computer is turned on, this means that the computer will slow down and become dull, since the programs consume computer resources, such as processor time and RAM, This is one of the main reasons for the slowdown in computer performance.

When the autorun function is enabled in operating system, the launch of such malicious software does not occur when you have launched any program that has malicious code.

To begin with, it’s worth saying that there are two types of automatic launch. The first one is AutoPlay, it searches for a certain type of information on the drive and offers to run it through the default utility. The second type is Autorun, he came from the old Windows versions. In this case windows looks for the Autorun.ini file on disk, and then reads and runs the actions recorded in it. This could be as simple as changing the media icon to something non-standard custom, or writing a virus into the system. This article will talk about how to disable autorun on the system.
Universal methods
This section will talk about several methods for disabling autorun, which are suitable for all systems, starting with Windows 7.
Disable Autorun and Autoplay in the Local Group Policy Editor
There are several ways to choose the right application. You can go to the launch, then you should go to control Panel, then select administration and here select Group Policy Editor. However, you can simply press win+r and enter into the window gpedit.msc. Next, the user will need to go to the computer configuration, after which Administrative Templates, then click on componentswindows. In this directory, you should select the autorun policy.
Next, you need to double-click with the left mouse button on the parameter “ Disabling autorun" In the window that opens, you will need to change the checkbox to Enabled, and at the bottom of the window you should make sure that the parameter will be applied to all devices. 
Using the registry editor
The user may not have access to the previous item due to the system version or other restrictions. In this case, you should use a utility to edit the registry; you can open it by pressing win+r and writing regedit. After that, on the left side of the menu you will need to go through the path consisting of directories HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\, the user will also need a second partition with the same path, only it will start with HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
In these two directories the user will need to click right click mouse over empty space and create new parameterdword for 3 bits. It will be necessary to name it NoDriveTypeAutorun, he will have to set the value to 000000FF. Then you can close the editor and restart the computer. After this, automatic startup of all drives will be prohibited.
Shutdown via control panel
You can also turn it off through the control panel. First, the user will need to launch it, then Equipment and sound and here click on Autorun. 
Here you can uncheck the use of autorun and in this case it will not be used for any devices. However, if the user is afraid of viruses or he simply does not like certain actions, then everything can be configured here. There is an option to choose what the system will do with each file type. You can configure everything so that video files will be played immediately, or the computer will not respond to them at all.
The user can configure all the items for himself, here you can select actions for audio and video, images and programs, DVDs and so on. However, for programs it is better to disable automatic launch or at least leave a request to the user. 
Autorun in Windows 8 and 8.1
For the eight, everything is set up a little differently. First you should go to settings, then go to Change computer settings, then go to Computer and devices, then go to Autorun.
Here you can turn the autoplay lever off or configure actions for each media type.
Disable in Windows 10
In the top ten for settings you should go to settings, then go to the devices section. 
Next, select autorun in the left menu. Here you can turn the switch to the off position, or configure actions for each media. 
Enabling autorun in Windows 7, 8, 10
Some users encounter the opposite problem. They want a menu to pop up or files to play when they insert a drive, but nothing happens. In this case, you should check the parameters described in the article. It's best to start with the settings section or control panel; this is the easiest and most likely way to disable automatic startup of drives. If everything is configured correctly there, then you should go to group policies and disable the specified option there.

Description
There is malware that spreads by creating copies of itself on all available hard drives using their autorun. The attacker records on hard drive executable malicious file and writes the path to it in the file autorun.inf hard drive. When a hard drive is connected, the system starts the one specified in autorun.inf a malicious file that infects your computer. This way, an attacker can gain control of the system and user data. Located in RAM of an infected computer, the malicious code, in turn, when connecting new hard drives, writes a copy of its executable file to them and writes itself into their file autorun.inf, thereby ensuring its further spread.
Consequences of the correction
Disabling autorun from hard drives does not in any way affect the system boot (multi-boot) and does not affect its performance. The fix only affects file autorun autorun.inf, which may contain links to malware. By default, autorun from hard drives is disabled.
