free fix of compact flashrotect your USB drive to protect it from virus

Hello dude, I like your software. The problem is that, when, I plug it in another computer, it is prone to viruses. For example, before executing that application on the new computer, you must plug in the drive before opening that application. The moment the drive is inserted, the moment the drive is infected. Can you devise a plan the will overtake the execution of this program before the intervention of the viruses. I will suggest that you will include and autorun.inf application that will execute the write protection first before the viruses attack inside. If the user wants to write files on it, he/she will be notified. If you are not the author, please contact him.

this is a nice software to keep my pc safe

This not work. I found penprotector but it is not free.

i like this program but Joe is right!!! can you add somting that makes the USB safe buy its self. like locking your usb. so when you pluge your usb in to any pc it will work like a SD card locked/write protected.

thanks but im with JOE!!! do you know of any software that i can put on my usb to protectit from infection? maybe lock it of writeprotect it?

Why not just use a dummy file to fiill in all the free space on your thumb drive. That way the virus will not have any room to infect. use NOD Dummy File creator. Simple, free and works like a charm.

can also use fsutil built into windows already to create the dummy file to fill up your usb. I use this command line.
fsutil file createnew dummy xxx ( where xxx is the remaining free space on the thumbdrive.

Joe
May the force be with u always.

i agree with joe.. thats the flow i found too..

but i disagree with autorun.inf coz, some people who’s not that good with computers might trigger a virus that executes via autorun.inf so the best way is to buy a flash drive with a write protect feature..

It is easy to use in Windows XP but does not work in windows 7

I think that this soft is a waste time, because it only protects your USB disk or drive on your local machine, if you plug in another computer, what then? (of course it will be infected)
Today’s Anti-virus solutions protects USB resources automatically…
There must be another solution. USB Drive must be protected in every computer you plug in!

Spywares and Viruses do really give me one heck of a headache.”~*

spywares and viruses always give me some headache. they can really mess up your pc..:,

today, there are lots of spywares and viruses that lurks over the internet.`’

I’ve created small utility for protecting usb drives. It creates or modify dummy file with takes all free space and there is no more space for viruses – http://code.google.com/p/usbdummyprotect/

there are literally tons of spywares and viruses lurking on the internet so we should always be careful when donwloading stuffs:~”

I’d buy a drive with a write protect switch. I don’t think a virus needs free space to infect an executable already on the drive, and if a utility can modify a dummy file I would think a virus could be made to do the same thing. You should be able to plug this drive into the most infected PC on the planet and if the switch on the drive is set to read only it should be fine. Better than trusting software I would think. A well written virus might compromise the software protection, it won’t hop out and flip the switch.

it is better to show how we can download them
