The use of flash disk has become commonplace today. Use a flash disk that is not controlled can cause an infected computer from another computer. Did you know that computer viruses can be also detected through the flash disk by using portable antivirus software.

You can run anti-virus which has been stored on the flash disk, although it is not antivirus software is installed on the computer.

There are several antivirus applications that can run through a flash disk, for example: AntivirX, ClamWin which can be downloaded at www.clamwin.com.

Once downloaded and stored on a flash disk, you need to create a file that will run antivirus software on the flash disk automatically when the plug the flash disk into the computer.

For that, please open notepad and type in commands as follows:

[autorun]
Open = antivirus.exe
Action = Open Anti-Virus
Portable!
Icoo = icon.ico
Label = your_name. Then save the file on the flash disk with the name autorun.inf. When saving use the command [save as] and typenya select [all files].

On the 2nd line autorun.inf file, which contains commands Open = antivirus.exe replace with the name of antivirus software stored on the flash disk. Suppose you use the clamwin.exe replace antivirus.exe with clamwin.exe. If the file is stored on clamwin.exe a directory on the flash disk, for example it is a directory antivirus then ordered to “Open = antivirusclamwin.exe”.

This autorun.inf file should be saved with the command “read only” so that can only be read and can not be modified. To make the file read only way, right click on the autorun.inf file and then select [Properties]. In the attributes you a check in the [Read Only].
