Panda Security just released a beta version of security sofware , which is developing to prevent computer not to get virus attack from USB devices  . Previously I was shared some USB antivirus for you. Those USB antivirus works by scanning, detected, then delete. But Panda USB Vaccine is totally different,  it’s work by disable the autorun feature from your computer, and also able to create a write protected autorun.inf dump file on your flash drive. So your computer won’t  get infect by USB devices, and your flash drive will be protected by the write-protected autorun.inf, and wont be able to overwrite by those viruses, you can’t even delete it.

Panda Research USB Vaccine  - 1.0.0.19 beta

Panda USB Vaccine is a free solution designed to protect against this threat. It offers a double layer of preventive protection, allowing users to disable the AutoRun feature on computers as well as on USB drives and other devices:Vaccine for computers: This is a ‘vaccine’ for computers to prevent any AutoRun file from running, regardless of whether the device (memory stick, CD, etc.) is infected or not.Vaccine for USB devices: This is a ‘vaccine’ for removable USB devices, preventing the AutoRun file from becoming a source of infection. The tool disables this file so it cannot be read, modified or replaced by malicious code.This is a very useful tool as there is no simple way of disabling the AutoRun feature in Windows. This provides users with a simple way of disabling this feature, offering a high degree of protection against infections from removable drives and devices.
