How to tackle pen-drive viruses?

Pen drives are really the boon for the computer industry. Its usefullness are not a matter to talk of. But all those usefullness gone in the pits if they are a easy carriers for viruses. But u don't need to be worried about that, because if you follow me, then you can prevent about 95% of pendrive viruses form infecting your computer.

Firstly I would like talk about some precautions u should take,

> Never double click any pendrive. Try to access it by exlporing it.

> show the hidden files along with system files. If viruses are there, then now u can see thm. Sometimes it does happens(because of a virues) it disables you show hidden file option. Then in this case use folowing dos commands,
enter in your pendrive,then write
dir /ah
this will display the hidden files in this directory.

Now how to tackle those viruses,
open your task manager, and see whether any unidentified processes are running. You could see some like wscript.exe ,driveguard.exe
now next step, open msconfig from run & click on startup tab. This includes the list of applications which are started at the startup. Try to see whether any unidentified program is running or not. If there is something, then uncheck it.
