Panda USB Vaccine-1.0.0.51

I found Panda USB Vaccine, a free utility from Panda Security Research which helps prevent malware infections due to the autorun feature of Windows OS. After execution the user can choose two types of vaccinations, they are- Computer Vaccination or USB Drive Vaccination.

Here is a screen shot:

USB Vaccine allows to vaccinate their PCs in order to disable autorun completely so that no program from any USB/CD/DVD drive can auto-execute. This is a helpful feature I think personally. Panda USB Vaccine can be used on individual USB drives to disable its autorun.inf file in order to prevent malware infections from spreading automatically. When applied on a USB drive, the vaccine permanently blocks an inoffensive AUTORUN.INF file, preventing it from being read, created, deleted or modified. Once applied it effectively disables Windows from automatically executing any malicious file that might be stored in that particular USB drive. The drive can otherwise be used normally and files copied to/from it, but they will be prevented from opening automatically. Panda USB Vaccine currently only works on FAT & FAT32 USB drives. Also it must be kept in mind that USB drives that have been vaccinated cannot be reversed except with a format.
