Vaccine for USB devices is a ‘vaccine’ for removable USB devices, preventing the AutoRun file from becoming a source of infection. Vaccine for computers will prevent any AutoRun file from running, regardless of whether the device (memory stick, CD, etc.) is infected or not.
For Windows only, Panda USB Vaccine is a free utility offered by Panda Security Research for users who have security concerns over malware infections due to the Autorun feature in their OS.Ĭompatible with Windows 2k, Windows XP and Windows Vista, Panda USB Vaccine offers users two different types of vaccinations: Computer Vaccination and USB Drive Vaccination.
