How to detect virus from flash disk? - Digital Web

Viruses on your PC can be detected with the portable antivirus from the flash disk (UFD). It's useful to secure the UFD from the virus and kill it.

Computers can be infected with the virus via a USB flash disk (UFD). But, from where the virus originated in the UFD. From the computer that is infected, of course. For example computers in the cafe. So, prevent the entry of virus into the UFD by scanning the computer from the UFD that have pluged.

We can run portable antivirus software that stored in UFD, It can run without installing first. With antivirus software, the computer will be scanned. Well ... indeed, it does not take a little time, if more over the computer have many files.

What we need is a portable antivirus software, such as AntivirX, ClamWin, which can be downloaded from www.clamwin.com. We also need to create a file that automatically run when the UFD has pluged. Files that will run antivirus software on the UFD. This is similar to the way the files automatically, which often are on the CD installation program.

Open Notepad and type the command lines below.
[autorun]
Open = antivirus.exe
Action = Open Anti-Virus Portable!
Icon = icon.ico
Label = Your_Name
If done store with the name autorun.inf. Not to be TXT files, change the Save as Type to be [all files].

The following is a brief explanation about the commands in the file autorun.inf.
The "Open" is a command to open the antivirus software. Open the command followed by the file to run antivirus software. So, replace "antivirus.exe" in the name of the file it with the antivirus software that is used. For example, the file name antivirus "antivirx.exe" the command to "Open = clamwin.exe." Now, if the file is located in another folder, for example, the folder AntivirX 1.0, the command is changed to "Open AntivirX = 1.0-clamwin.exe."

The "Action" useful to show the sentence in the dialog box when the antivirus software will run. Sentences that follow this command can be replaced with other words.

The "Icon" work to change the icons UFD standards that appear in Windows Explorer. Call no special function related to antivirus software, the icon is only beautify it. Of course there must be a file icons UFD also. Name the file in the example "icon.ico" replaced with the name of the file icons used.

Finally, the "label" work o provide the name of the UFD. Same as the "icon", the baseball is also related to the prevention of the entry of the virus business.

Autorun.inf file attributes that made it a "Read-Only" - it can read, can not be changed. If you can not be changed, meaning the virus will not be able to modify the file. How this is the case, right-click the file, then click [Properties]. In the attributes, check on [Read-Only].

The following is the use of the UFD to detect the virus in the computer.

1. Enter the UFD, but do not open the flash disk on the computer. UFD has not been opened, the computer virus will not enter into the flash disk, or vice versa.
2. Run the road automatically by clicking the [OK] button on the dialog box that appears. Antivirus portable on the UFD will be running.
3. Virus scan on the computer, especially in the C:-Windows-system32.
4. If there is antivirus software reported a virus, do not hesitate, the computer is bervirus.
5. Next please clean the computer. If not, no pull only rush however, expect the UFD.
