Go720 and Autorun.inf

Does your 720 have an "autorun.inf" file in the root directlory? (hidden)

I do, not sure whether it is hidden or not.

Thanks. I thought so. Just checking. The latest trend in AV software is to alert on autorun.inf files in the root directory of USB devices. Mine is doing that. I just wanted to make sure the autorun file in this case was normal. I thought it probably was. My AV allows me to turn off that alert, but... that is one of the most recent ways of spreading viruses so I don't want to turn if off.

Again, thanks.

It's not necessary for functioning of the Tomtom. Feel free to delete it.

autorun.inf will install an old copy of Tomtom HOME that is pre-loaded on the device, if you don't already have HOME installed on your PC. That way it just plugs in and works for new users.
