MCShield is product made by AMF team from MyCity.rs and we are members of ASAP. MCShield is successor of USBnoRisk which was used in our community to clean infected USB(flash) devices. It will scan every removable device that is plugged in. Current version is 2.5.4.20 and it is constantly updated. Probably someone heard about this tool even it's not widely known (that is shame). Here is a short description:
During the past years, we've seen rapid increase in worms spreading via removable drives; either by using various features of the operating system or simply by tricking users into running the malware.

As the time went by, the number of users on our malware removal forum that came back infected after a day or two, kept increasing.

In most of the cases, the source of reinfection was an infected removable drive (a USB pen drive, digital camera, mobile phone...).

The users also realized that there's a weak point in their computer's security and kept asking questions and recommendations for a good "USB antivirus", but we just couldn't give them one - we considered them either worthless or overpriced.

Some time in the late 2009. an idea of a tool that could help was born.

The tool, MCShield, has been designed as a lightweight scanner that's smart enough to catch even new worms and work in fully automatic removal mode.

In my point of view, this tool is god of war in its class. It has world class heuristics, and it detected even Stuxnet, when we didn't know nothing about this malware. As I said it has heuristic that cannot be cheated (you can try :P ), it will rename (.vir) every suspicious file, so detection is 99.9%...

Here is the program's simple interface (rest is up to you to explore):

Yes, on first look it looks like it is based on MBAM, but MCShield is made by different people :)

seems like the @="@SYS:DoesNotExist" registry entry would suffice unless you expect your file specified in the autorun file to actually run.

I believe there is also a way to make desktop.ini run a file automatically as well...
