    I had my Autorun disabled a few months ago but when i ran AVG PC TuneUp it said it is enabled. How do i check if it really is enabled or not? I'm pretty sure i didn't reenable it.tnx

    If you are using Windows 7, go to Start, type in autorun in the search.

    It is disabled. Maybe just an error by AVG PC TuneUp. Thanks.
