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. This is to prevent malicious programs from taking advantage of the AutoRun vulnerability to spread dangerous worms or viruses. Windows 7 users may be aware that the AutoPlay feature in Win 7 no longer supports the AutoRun function for non-optical removable media.
