Avoiding Pen Drive/ Flash Drive Viruses

Now a days Virus is common in almost all Pen drives/Flash Drives/USB's/Memory Cards

Here there is a small trick to overcome some of the Virus, not 100% virus can be removed.
This is just a tip for protecting these Drives.

After Buying the Pen drives/Flash Drives/USB's/Memory Cards Format it, by left Click
on the icon and select Format, then u will appear a window, in that u tick on the option
QUICK FORMAT button and press start.

Now open the Pen drives/Flash Drives/USB's/Memory Cards by normal opening.

Create a Folder with name AUTORUN.INF and press enter.

Why u are creating the AUTORUN.INF folder means, the virus mainly contains a notepad file with the name autorun.inf

so if u create the folder with autorun.inf , the virus notepad file cannot enter into the Flash drive/Pendrive because already
with that name a file is existed as created in the Flash Drive/ Pen Drive.
