Everybody use pendrive and obviously face problem. I have faced so many virus using my pendrive. Source is my unsecured college lab and others who use internet at home and download virus unknowingly and spread all over through their pen drive. Commonly known USB virus are ‘Autorun.inf’ which makes files try launch itself. “Newfolder.exe” which is most cunning of all, it doesn’t get delete neither get detected by any antivirus software in including AVG, Avast, NOD32, Biddefender, PC cilin. But EZ or Etrust Or CA antivirus delete it clean. I guess how it identifies that virus in my comp. I scanned my pendrive in my college system which has Etrust but it didn’t identify. See to that your antivirus is upto date, else it is of no use. Well there is another tool to delete these two buggers. Download this tool SmartAV and run it to find USB virus and ‘autorun.inf’. this tool has been designed specially for USB virus. Even you have firewall for USB and it tells you if any unauthorized access happens. You can search for such a tool in google. But i feel SmartAV works properly. I prefer SmartAV only as a second option because First option is ETrust antivirus. Disable autorun once for all.
