USB Immunizer

[Anupam]

Want to share about a software called USB Immunizer by BitDefender. This program works similarly to Panda USB Vaccine... that is, it protects the computer from autorun viruses which come via USB drives.

Like Panda USB Vaccine, USB Immunizer too, will protect the USB drives by installing its own autorun.inf file there, which cannot be overwritten by malware. Therefore, if you "immunize" your USB drive, and put it in an infected computer, the autorun.inf file will stay intact, and autorun malware won't be able to infect the drive.
The thing which is different from Panda USB Vaccine is that, the in Panda, the autorun.inf file can be deleted easily, whereas, with USB Immunizer, the file cannot be deleted, atleast on Windows. You will have to plug it into a Linux system, or non-Windows OS to delete that file.

The program is free to use, and can be found here :
