Most antiviruses scan i/o from connected devices. Futher, many of them are free, so no need to spend money as well. For a list of free antivirus softwares, see here-

i think “Bitdefender” or “Kaspersky” perfect….today when i returned from my university i scaned my usb by bitdefender and it removed each and every virus present in my usb……and saved my data from destroying….A common virus in my university is that which makes shortcuts of each and every file….and autorun.inf also is a great headache for me……………

Some cool guy has invented a condom concept to protect pcs from USB viruses… USB antivirus is nowadays common, but this concept simply rocks..

you can not copy/view files to the “secured.exe” folder if you deny by “Fulll Control” may be its more appropriate to deny by “Read” and allow by “Write”. It does not allow any applications to see the content of the folder. And you can still copy files by right click ->paste the folder.

Except you intend to fully deny your that folder to any computers you think its unsafe without any writing or reading of files to that folder. And remove the restriction to that folder on safe computers for accessing of files

NIce Idea. But what is the purpose of creating “Secured.exe” folder full control denied. Inside the secured folder?

Hi friends, i have a sloution for ur issue.
You can make ur normal pen drive to virus protected pendrive. for that u want 1 pc which having windows vista 0r 7 os installed. Follow the below steps……..
1) Connect ur pen drive to pc which having widows vista or windows 7 operating system. (The user must having Administrator rights)
2) Open ‘My Computer’ & right click on pendrive icon then select ‘Format’ option. Before formatting you must take a back up of all of your data because it deletes whole data from ur pen drive.
3) In Format window select file system tab & change it to ‘NTFS’ then click on ‘Start’ to start formatting.
4) After formatting done close the format window & open ur pendrive.
5) create one folder in pen drive & rename it to ‘secured’.
6) Back to ‘My Computer’ & again right click on pendrive & now select ‘Properties’ tab.
7) In properties window select security tab then click on edit & tick on ‘Deny’ for ‘Write’ permission then press ok to apply the settings.
Open pen drive again, right click on ‘Secured’ folder select ‘Properties’ then ‘Security’ tab.
again click on ‘Edit’ tab & set ‘Allow’ permission to ‘Full Control’ then click ok to apply settings.
9) Open ‘Secured’ folder, create one folder into that & rename it to ‘Secured.exe’.
10) Right click on ‘Secured.exe’ folder select ‘Properties’ & make it hidden by selecting ‘Hidden’ attribute then select ‘security’ tab click on ‘Edit’ & set ‘Deny’ permission to ‘Full Control’ .
10) Press ‘Ok’ to apply the settings.
Now ur pen drive is virus protected. but u can’t copy files into that directly. u need to copy all of ur files to the secured folder & I recommand that copy ur software setup files to the zip folder so, virus can’t access software’s exe files.

Thanks

To prevent infection of your files on portable drive it's necessary to hide them until you are sure that comp is clean. For example by SecureNtfs . It allows creating an invisible area and open it as a disk.

Panda USB Vaccine disables ‘auto-run’, and can be installed on a USB drive &/or on a computer. You maintain the ability to write to your USB drive.

You know how I protect my USB….I go to My Computer, then right click on Removable Disk and then Properties. After that see how much free memory Ihave and than I make file adding exact number of free bytes….That’s it…PROTECTED
Note: If you want to add a new file to USB, first delete the file you made and then check free memory and create file again……THANKS

If I do that (Write Protect) in My USB drive. In other session I can't transfer file to USB, and I think it's Useless.

why can't someone just make a firewall, or security program, that work ON THE USB, not any computers so that the USB has its own firewall. that would be sooooooo much easier!

Try Autorun Protector, it protect your PC and removable device from autorun worms.

It only write protected the computer you are working on, it does not change the USB’s protection when u attached in a different computer.
If I take the USB and attached to a different computer, it still can copy contents to the USB stick.
I want a program that can turn on/off write protection within the USB stick, so anywhere I go the USB will be write protected.
