The 42nd most popular anti-virus tool on Windows
… More EditThe free Panda USB Vaccine allows users to vaccinate their PCs and USB Keys in order to disable the AutoRun functionality preventing malware infections from spreading automatically using the USB Keys.
No program from any USB/CD/DVD drive (regardless of whether they have been previously vaccinated or not) can auto-execute. This is a really helpful feature as there is no user friendly and easy way of completely disabling AutoRun on a Windows PC.
The free Panda USB Vaccine can also be used on individual USB drives to disable its AUTORUN.INF file in order to prevent malware infections from spreading automatically. When applied on a USB drive, the vaccine permanently blocks an innocuous AUTORUN.INF file, preventing it from being read, created, deleted or modified. Once applied it effectively disables Windows from automatically executing any malicious file that might be stored in that particular USB drive. The drive can otherwise be used normally and files (even malware) copied to/from it, but they will be prevented from opening automatically.
Panda USB Vaccine currently works on FAT & FAT32 & NTFS USB drives. The new 1.0.0.50 version includes an installer and a resident mode that supports the automatic vaccination of any inserted USB Key.
Also keep in mind that USB drives that have been vaccinated cannot be reversed except with a format.
