Also keep in mind that USB drives that have been vaccinated cannot be reversed except with a format.For Windows OS its really necessary. Panda USB Vaccine currently only works on FAT & FAT32 USB drives. The drive can otherwise be used normally and files (even malware) copied to/from it, but they will be prevented from opening automatically. Once applied it effectivelly disables Windows from automatically executing any malicious file that might be stored in that particular USB drive. When applied on a USB drive, the vaccine permanently blocks an innocuous AUTORUN.INF file, preventing it from being read, created, deleted or modified. The free Panda USB Vaccine can be used on individual USB drives to disable its AUTORUN.INF file in order to prevent malware infections from spreading automatically. Stupid question, but why do you even have an autorun.inf on a pen drive? That doesn't have anything to do with permissions. It cannot remove viruses that are already present in the system.The only thing that has changed is that the archive bit has been set on Autorun_.inf. The application is only capable of preventing threats from accessing the computer.

Panda USB Security has a simple interface. Users are alerted of the files and programs that are removed. Aside from providing USB protection, the application also offers computer vaccination. This is done to prevent threats from modifying or adding malicious code. The software has a double layer of protection that allows users to disable the autorun tool on computers and USB drives. Panda USB Security is a security application that protects computers from malware that can be installed from USB drives and external devices.
