Now-a-days pen drive viruses
are spreading rapidly. Most of
the pen drive viruses create an
autorun.inf file in the root of
the pen drive folder to load
automatically when the pen
drive is inserted in the system.
You can create a folder named
autorun.inf in the root folder
of pen drive to overcome this
problem. Set this folder to
read only, system and hidden
by using attrib +h +r +s
autorun.inf at the command
prompt of the pen drive. Also
you can hold SHIFT key to stop
the execution of autorun.inf
when you inserting the pen
drive. Then you can use Solo
antivirus scanner to remove the
infected files.
