What is Panda USB Vaccine?

Panda USB Vaccine is a free utility that helps prevent malware infections by disabling the autorun feature on Windows operating systems. The application offers two types of vaccinations: Computer Vaccination and USB Drive Vaccination. The Computer Vaccination option allows users to completely disable autorun on their PCs, ensuring that no programs from USB, CD, or DVD drives can auto-execute, regardless of previous vaccination status. This feature is particularly helpful as there is no straightforward, user-friendly way to disable autorun on Windows. The USB Drive Vaccination option enables users to disable the autorun.inf file on individual USB drives, preventing the automatic spread of malware infections
