Hi recently I face this errant virus/malware that named google.htm / google.jpg / recycler, etc thing. It also has a hidden Autorun.inf file to run another file called wscript.vbs. It is usually spreaded when the user double-click the drive letter of the infected device, and it will disable the msconfig command and Folder Option from explorer on the infected PC.

There were quite many PCs infected and it took me hours to remove it. Main reason of spreading is through the use of portable storage like USB harddisk, thumbdrive and memory card. I am thinking if any software out there would have the capability to be installed on them and run scan automatically whenever a file is to be opened. Any recommendation or suggestion for better workaround?

I know there's this Sandisk thumbdrive that has U3 which then has the antivirus software. However, it doesn't apply for USB harddisk and different types of memory card.

Seriously need some help here. Any suggestions are appreciated!!

Regards,
Joseph

you can used either use portable OR setup version

for portable, download, extract & run / for setup version, setup & run
*dont forgot >>> option > update definition
*also explore option > setting
**can set for auto run at startup
**block autorun
**disable autoplay

ninja pendisk -> http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Ninja-Pendisk.shtml



I'm using it. It works not just for USB drives, but also on removable memory cards/removable disks

if you have to handle multiple PC (e.g cybercafe, comp lab), disable autorun features for removable drive using TweakUI (if you're using XP)

and, set your anti-virus setting to scan file each time they're being open, modified or created. a lil' slow on performance.

as for the question, no. portable anti-virus didn't have the capability to scan automatically.

Ninja Pendisk is good

GVR @ Geeks Virus Remover is very good! Got function for registry fix also (that had been chang by malwares)

I worry my pendrive will be infected when I plug it into other computers. Should I install Ninja pendrive AV also into my pendrive so that my pendrive is protected whenever it is plugged into other computers that infected?
