USB Flash Drive is a tiny useful device that is used ubiquitously nowadays
because of its small size, make it easy for mobile people to bring along
virtually everything (digital) with them. With the space capacity grows
exponentially, inversely proportional to its price, it becomes a mundane
device for everyone to have. One thing that boggles users is virus or
malicious script that can easily bind itself to the device and infect most
of its content.
First, I want to show you how this autorun virus works:
1. When you plug in your USB Flash Drive to Computer that have virus
"autorun virus", Virus make some script to run virus from flash
drive.
2. Virus will make 2 files, the first file is the original virus "autorun.inf"
and the others is script to running original virus.
3. When you plug in your USB Drive to onother Computer, PC will
automatically running virus script "autorun.inf" and virus comes
in to computer.
Now, how to protect PC from running this script?
There are answer for this question. Protect from outside by making
undeletable write-protected dummy "autorun.inf" file using
Naevius USB Protector.
Here's a way to make your USB thumb drive with Read Only "autorun.inf":
1. Backup all contents of thumb drive.
2. Download and Install Naevius
USB Protector.
3. Run Naevius USB Protector.
4. Select USB Device that you want to protect.
5. Click "Protect" button.
Done, viruses will have read only access for "autorun.inf".
