A better way to protect your pen drive from virus.

This is the way I use to protect my pen drive from viruses. This method involves the creation of two system files in your pen drive.

You have to create two files in your pen drive.

1. A folder named AUTORUN.INF

After creating open the command prompt to this directory and type this command--- attrib +r +s +h AUTORUN.INF

2. Creation of a empty system file.

-- First open folder option and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file type" an the view section.

-- Apply the setting and now create a text file in the pen drive.
-- Now rename the file as RECYCLER(delete the extension .txt).
--Run this command in the pen drive directory-> attrib +h +r +s RECYCLER

That's all you have create the necessary files and your pen drive is not vulnerable to virus. Even virus attack your pen drive it will not autorun on your PC.
