Internet worms are mostly spread through removable devices like CD ROM's, Floppy Drives and Flash Drives. Most of these removable devices have autorun functions in them which maybe a virus or a software that is necessary for you. Turning off autorun feature makes your computer less vulnerable from security threats.
To disable autorun feature Go to Start -> Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC
Go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System.
Locate the entry for "Turn autoplay off" and change it.
