Antivirus for pendrive

[ruturaj3]

I have Kingston 2 GB pen drive.
i want to know is their any antivirus which will automatically scan files before copying it to my pendrive.

Also i want s/w , which will restrict others from cut or delete data from drive, only i can delete it by entering a password.

You can use Portable ClamWin Internet Security for your PEN Drive.

Clamwin won't scan automatically.
You have to scan manually,after you copy files.

y do u want it 2 scan automatically?
if u use Kaspersky or Avast everytime u accesss or run a file form d pen drive it will automatically run a scan and detect any anomalies

he is talking about pendrive, which he will not use only on HIS PC, thats why how can he scan when he uses pen drive on other pc, if at all other pc has antivirus, whats gaurantee that it will be uptodate??

Thats why his query was, AUTOMATIC SCAN from his pen drive...

Hope i have made clear his query

Sorry dude, I cant help u in this.

i dnt think this is possible with ordinary pendrives...but there is a pendrive with anti virus embedded, which can do a scan automatically.

U3 enabled pendrives have this ability... Sandisk Cruzer comes with Avast on it... However, the pendrive version of Avast is trialware and requires payment to continue (works for 2 or 3 months only first)...

let all d other PCs in d world b infected with viruses, and let them infect ur drive as soon as u attach it 2 them

but d moment u bring it back 2 ur own compter, with its up-to=data virus defnintions ,and d virus tries to infect ur comp, d anti-virus will easily detect it and either disinfec/quarantine/delete it, so ur rig is safe from d viruses of OTHER computers

i am not saying no soln exits [not aware of ne neway], but i feel dat it is pretty unnecessary

if u all find any kep us updated

^^^ what if the AV is unable to clean and has to delete those files??! all the copying process will be a waste! there's no realtime portable scanner out of the box. only avast u3 exists. but it won't work on pen drives.

i dunno if u are familiar wid bart pe. but there's plugin for bart pe that allows realtime scanning using clamwin as soon as bart (windows) pe is loaded. u may wanna google and read through the script to make ur own.
