But you can see variations of this virus strain has completely removed the protection from above and manually change the Autorun.inf Autorun.inf .bak.

Before this situation the company Panda had very positive move for the tools to protect your computer and USB type "vaccine" called Panda USB Vaccine Research (PRUV). This tool does not work to destroy viruses that only help you make the setting to help prevent the spread of this virus.

Panda USB Vaccine is a free utility from Panda Research which helps prevent malware infections due to the autorun feature of Windows Operating Systems. Once executed the user can choose two types of vaccinations: Computer Vaccination or USB Drive Vaccination. USB Vaccine allows users to vaccinate their PCs in order to disable autorun completely so that no program from any USB/CD/DVD drive (regardless of whether they have been previously vaccinated or not) can auto-execute. This is a really helpful feature as there is no user friendly and easy way of completely disabling autorun on a Windows PC. Panda USB Vaccine can be used on individual USB drives to disable its autorun.inf file in order to prevent malware infections from spreading automatically.
