There is a way to get rid of the annoying pop-up that appears whenever you plug in a thumbdrive or insert a CD. You should also disable autoplay to minimize the risk of transmitting virus from your external hardware to your PC or laptop.
1) Go to Start Menu \ Run and type: gpedit.msc
2) The Group Policy window opens up, select Administrative Templates \ System in the tree view.
3) Look for "Turn off Autoplay" at the right pane of the menu.
4) Double-click this option and choose "Enable" and select "All Drives" from the drop down menu.
