Turn off autorun for all devices, on all OSes... It is a high risk vs low usefulness.

Autorun viruses are as old as operating systems themselves. Probably older. PS. also avoid cheap chinese s**t (especially usb thumb drives) with malicious firmware. Back in the days when even legit tech / gaming magazines had dumb as heck staff distributing malware ''by accident'' on their demo/software discs, floppy disks etc.
