Back then Panda USB Vaccine by Panda Security was released under beta, the good news is, it is now out of beta and version 1.0.0.50 is here. Some of the most notable improvements are the following:
- Support for vaccinating NTFS drives. This uses a completely different technique than the vaccination of FAT/FAT32 drives.
- Disable Autorun
- Executing USBVaccine.exe launches an installer which allows you to configure whether you want USBVaccine to start automatically with Windows.
- Configuration option during setup to hide the tray icon.
- Configuration option during setup to automatically vaccinate any new USB drives inserted into the PC.

FREE USB Autorun Virus Protection And Scanner
Prevention is better than cure, the old saying goes. Just like computer security, it is better to prevent any unwanted intrusion than to save the computer from damages done by malicious software.
USB FireWall blocks all virus and tojan that try to spread to your computer system when an USB device is inserted. Normally a virus spreads through the autorun feature found in Windows, unlike a worm which exploit your computer due to security weakness and duplicate itself without you clicking on the program, a virus and trojan does not have the capability to spread itself without the ‘click’ by the user.
Therefore it is important to disable the autorun feature in Windows. USB FireWall is a freeware and its functionality is limited, if ever the malicious program is already present in your system, it tries to stop it but a patch or an Antivirus program is much more adapted to this kind of problem.
As soon as your USB peripheral is inserted, the software scan it automatically and seeks for a malicious program, if a such file is detected, the software will be shown and asks you to click on the “Delete” button to remove all files associated with the program.
