Panda USB Vaccine

Panda USB Vaccine is a free security tool designed to protect USB drives and computers from malware that spreads through autorun functionality[1][2]. It works by disabling the autorun.inf file on USB drives, preventing viruses from automatically executing when the drive is connected to a computer[5][6].

Key features of Panda USB Vaccine for USB drives include:

  1. Vaccination of individual USB drives to block malicious autorun.inf files[2][6].
  2. Support for both FAT/FAT32 and NTFS file systems[1].
  3. Automatic scanning and cleaning of USB drives upon insertion[1].
  4. Option to automatically vaccinate new USB drives connected to the PC[1].

The vaccination process is quick and simple, requiring just a few clicks to protect a USB drive[3][5]. Once vaccinated, the USB drive can be safely used on any computer, even if that computer is not vaccinated[4].

It's important to note that Panda USB Vaccine is a preventive tool and does not clean already infected drives[7]. The vaccination is permanent for USB drives and can only be reversed by formatting the drive[6].
