Ninja Pendisk is another tool to guard computers against viruses transmitted by USB drives.

Besides removing known virulent files, this tool will also immunize your pendisk and create a folder called autorun.inf with special protection permissions to protect your pendisk from being infected again when plugged on contaminated computers.
