Protect your computer from autorun viruses of pen drive and other removable medias

Securing your computer and other removable devices from viruses is very necessary
with some other software besides the regular antivirus softwares.


Internet, Email were the most used medium to spread the viruses in the past years.
But now, the removable medias such as pen drive, memory card, portable music players (iPod, ...) etc are become notorious devices to infect computers with viruses.
No antivirus software can provides guarantee to remove any virus. Therefore,
instead of waiting to update became available, to remove a virus, from the antivirus
software, we can use a different solution which can block the viruses from auto-running
whenever the removable media is attached to a computer.


This solution is not perfect but it can provide a certain level of security.

'Panda USB Vaccine' can create an AUTORUN.INF file in each removable medias.
Generally, the AUTORUN.INF file is used by viruses to let the virus run
automatically whenever the removable media is attached. But this program will create
its own AUTORUN.INF file which can not be removed, renamed or edited by any
software. So, the virus also can not modify the file and also can not create this
file and ultimately it can not be used by viruses to autorun themselves.
