Your point of view is not

Sorry but in my opinion your point of view is not correct. Autorun.inf is just a text file, you cannot block it... it already cannot run. You have to block the O.S. feature that reads this file to run something else pointed by it.
SEP, from its point of view, can help you to stop that a malware spreads itself in your network by copying the autorun.inf in the drives and this is what you see.
You cannot ask to SEP to do the job of your O.S. and Active Directory.

Ideas

1. disable the sep services "smc -stop" temporarily to allow the autorun.inf
2. highlights all the files that you want to copy then exclude the autorun.inf

Autorun.inf application and device control policy

This should help you in implementing the policy.
Try testing it and see if this works.

I think you can do away with the autorun feature.

SEP creates the policy by not allowing the user account to have read access to that file and copying the file is the combination of reading the file and writing it elsewhere.

Hello Sameh.
I hope this will help you.
open sep manager and go to application and device policy. edit your policy which you use than add new condition rule (file and folder access attempts. add autorun.inf in right side (apply to the following files and folders)
and go to actions tab and choice Block access.
this will block every access to autorun.inf
you cannot copy move etc. it.
if you want to blok it only flash drives edit file and folder definition and check box Only match files on the following device id type.
and write there usbstor*
thats all.
Have a nice day.
