Protect definitely USB drives from viruses

Some viruses spread via USB, you plug in your USB in one computer, the usb got infected then the USB carries the virus inside and infects all the computers where you plug in the infected USB.

These kind of viruses (malwares) modify/create the file “autorun.inf” into your USB. When you connect the USB in every PC, the first action the PC takes is run the file “autorun.inf”. So, the best way to prevent infections is denying permissions to modify the file “autorun.inf”.

How could we do that? Well, there are many ways. One of them is editing the register of windows, this method could be boring, difficult, even risky, etc, etc. Recommended for advanced users. Another option could be a program which automatically protect the file “autorun.inf” against modifications. This option is easier of course.

Exists some programs that protect ours USB from being modified, like: Elipen, USB doctor 2.0, USBvaccine (by panda) and others. All of them are easy to use and very effective. Try them and i’m sure you don’t regret.
