USB immunizer by bitdefender

Now For many years, Autorun-based malware has been atop of the worldwide "e-threat" landscape, with notorious representatives such as Trojan.
AutorunInf , the Conficker worm ( Win32.Worm.Downadup ) or the Worm.Autorun.VHD.which is Introduced back in the Windows XP era to facilitate software installations from CD-ROM media and for non-technical computer users (us), the Autorun feature has rapidly become the most infection vector and technique of choice for cyber-criminals and stealers.

The "USB immunizer" is BitDefender's response to this growing issue. This small utility which is divided in two sections.


>>The Immunize option allows you to immunize your USB storage device or SD card(or any other) against infections with autorun-based malware which is fatal. Even if your storage device has been plugged into an infected computer(which is infected by this virus), the piece of malware will be unable to create its "autorun.inf file", thus annihilating any chance of auto-launching itself.

>>The Immunize Computer slider feature allows you to toggle the autorun feature On or Off for any removable media (except for CD/DVD-ROM devices but some can support this feature). If you accidentally plug in an infected USB drive(virused) that has not been immunized, the computer will not auto-execute the piece of malware located on the USB storage device and you will be at safe!!.
