Computer Vaccination
The free Panda 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.

USB Vaccination
The free 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. When applied on a USB drive, the vaccine permanently blocks an innocuous AUTORUN.INF file, preventing it from being read, created, deleted or modified. Once applied it effectivelly disables Windows from automatically executing any malicious file that might be stored in that particular USB drive. The drive can otherwise be used normally and files (even malware) copied to/from it, but they will be prevented from opening automatically. Panda USB Vaccine currently only works on FAT & FAT32 USB drives. Also keep in mind that USB drives that have been vaccinated cannot be reversed.

Panda USB Vaccine is a 100% free utility. We've tested it under Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP1-SP3, and Windows Vista SP0 and SP1. Feedback is always welcomed.

UPDATE June 19, 2009: New version 1.0.0.50 released with NTFS support.
Panda USB Vaccine is out of beta and version 1.0.0.50 is here.

Some of the most notable improvements are the following:
  • Support for vaccinating NTFS drives. This uses a completely different technique than the vaccination of FAT/FAT32 drives.
  • Executing USBVaccine.exe launches an installer which allows you to configure whether you want USBVaccine to start automatically with Windows.
  • Configuration option during setup to hide the tray icon.
  • Configuration option during setup to automatically vaccinate any new USB drives inserted into the PC.
  • Fixed bug on PC shutdown when USBVaccine was running in the background (Vista).
  • Other bug fixes reported by users on certain types of USB drives.
