i have disabled autorun function for flash drives- is there any chance of getting infected by virus on it?

Question

i mean if we keep autorun for flash drives (thumb drives) enabled and bring some data from a virus infected pc on to our computer and autorun of a virus infected file takes place on that thumb drive, our computer gets infected. after disabling autorun for both cd/dvd and removable drives, is there any threat still existing

Answer 1

Of course - for instance, if you accidentally execute some malicious propgram residing on the flash drive. It can be as easy as viewing a picture or an HTML file there.
